Austin Berndt

Editor Extraordinaire

Austin is our Editor extraordinaire who has been with the Sparkhouse team since 2020. He’s originally from our great state of California and is no stranger to the film industry. With a sister who had a passion for acting, filmmaking was standard fare all throughout Austin’s childhood.

From a playtime hobby with the toy camera he got for Christmas as a child to taking over the family camcorder at 7, Austin has been creating, filming, and editing most of his life. When not editing, he’s enjoying the company of his fearsome Belgian Malinois, Captain Cuddles, or catching the latest blockbuster.
