General info :
Alain Jakubowicz (born in Paris, France) is a film editor and production manager.
Select credits include Masters of the Universe (1987), Cyborg (1989) and Air Marshal (2003).

At age 15, while still attending high school, he won a film award at the Venice Film Festival for his 8 mm film. He decided to become a filmmaker. At 18, Jakubowicz already graduated from Conservatoire Independent du Cinema Francais (CICF – a film school in Paris) with a M.A. degree in film editing. In 1968 at age 20 he left France and went to Israel for a one-month vacation. He ended up staying there for 15 years. In Israel, Jakubowicz built up his professional career while working as an assistant editor and editor on documentaries, news and commercials. In 1972, at age 24, he got his first break as feature film editor on a U.S. co-production Neither by Day Nor By Night starring Edward G. Robinson. This film launched his career as one of the most prolific and prominent editors in Israel. Among his credits is the famous Lemon Popsicle nominated at the Golden Globes as best foreign picture and still considered today the most successful Israeli film.

In 1986 his life took a new turn when he was invited to Hollywood to edit Delta Force, starring Lee Marvin and Chuck Norris. This movie launched his U.S. career and Hollywood became his new home. In 1987 Jakubowicz became Vice President in charge of creative post-production for Canon Films, a position he held until 1990. This position allowed him to interact and work with major directors and foremost productions, including Andrei Konchalovsky’s Shy People, Tobbe Hopper’s Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 and Invaders From Mars, and Barbet Schroedder’s Barfly. During those years he supervised all aspects of creative post-production on the entire Canon catalogue.
