Kegan Littlefield, —

The kind of editor who will hear a song on his drive to work and spend the rest of the day figuring out how to make a cut feel the way that chorus hit, Kegan Littlefield has been splicing clips together since he was 13, back when it was just a hobby and the only client was his family group chat.

Kegan grew up in Estevan, Saskatchewan (population 10,000, known locally as “the Energy City,” about as far south as you can get before you hit the border). In high school, he loaded up on every multimedia program available, earned a scholarship for it, joined the Communication Media class and the school radio show, and volunteered for six months with a local business. He’s currently finishing up the Interactive Design and Technology program at Saskatchewan Polytechnic in Regina, which covers software development, web development, and media production. His older brother Marshall, who edits down the hall, was the one who showed him this hobby could actually pay rent.

At Barbershop, Kegan takes raw footage from the videographers, reads the producer’s notes, and builds the edit from scratch. He’s the kind of person who asks questions until he understands not just what’s needed but why, then finds his own way to get there. If he picks up a trick or figures out a new technique, he shares it. If someone on the team knows something he doesn’t, he’s already asking.

When he’s not in the timeline, Kegan is almost certainly making music. Guitar, piano, drums, humming in the hallway, karaoke nights, or writing his own songs in the car with the windows up.
