Terilyn A. Shropshire

Her big break as a motion picture editor came when she was hired to cut Eve's Bayou, the auspicious feature directing debut of actress Kasi Lemmons. The film went on to become the highest-grossing independent film of 1997, and it received numerous awards, including Best First Feature at the Independent Spirit Awards. After the success of the film, Spike Lee suggested that she go to director Gina Prince-Bythewood for her breakout film Love & Basketball. She has collaborated with both Lemmons and Prince-Bythewood on nearly all of their films.

Shropshire has received an Eddie Award from the American Cinema Editors and has been nominated for an Emmy Award. She has been elected as a member of the American Cinema Editors.
