Editor / Actor / Musician Bill Galatis

We welcome Bill Galatis to the show! Bill studied cinema, animation, film production, photography as well as developing into quite a cinephile. Bill also paralleled as a rock musician; performing, writing and recording all over New England and New York. From 2006-2018, Bill was involved with a premiere, international music school organization called School of Rock (SOR). SOR is a nationwide chain of performance-based music schools for kids ages 7-18, as well as adults. After a few years as the Music Director for School of Rock Boston, he became franchisee of that location and opened an additional school on the north shore of MA. In addition to opening both schools from scratch, Bill’s Boston school was the first SOR unit to open in all of New England. As well as covering the day-to-day operations of both schools, Bill had a busy schedule of instructing weekly group rehearsals and private guitar and bass lessons. Around the end of winter 2014, Bill started to shift from the SOR day to day operations to more of an overseer. This allowed him to build his career in filmmaking, with a focus on acting, but still film editing and writing here and there. In the next 6 years, Bill booked lead and supporting roles on about 40 independent and studio films, both short and feature length. He worked closely with Karen Allen (Raiders of the Lost Art), John Fiore, Frank Santorelli, Armen Garo and Robert Funaro (The Sopranos) to name a few of the more well-known artists. By 2018, Bill made the big decision to sell both of School of Rock locations and go into the movie business full time. In 2020, Bill moved to Manhattan, New York. With the pandemic in full throttle, Bill’s film editing career became more of the main focus. In the last 5 years, Bill has edited about a half dozen independent short films and 4 independent feature length films. Bill has recently started studying at the Manhattan Edit Workshop and is aiming to break into editing for major film studio productions.
