Biography
Zumbrunnen graduated from the University of Southern California with a degree in journalism.[1] From 1985 to 1987, Zumbrunnen was lead singer and guitarist in the Los Angeles proto-alt band, Holmes, alongside fellow singer and guitarist, Bart Lipton, keyboardist Kelly Bass, Bass player Robin Paulson and Drummer Paul Perme. Often referred to as "the 83rd hottest band in L.A.", Holmes was known mostly for its bizarre mashup hybrid tracks "Wagon Train to Hell" and "Ironsides".[citation needed]
Zumbrunnen was a member in the American Cinema Editors.[2]
Zumbrunnen died from cancer on August 1, 2017.[3]
Collaboration with Spike Jonze
Zumbrunnen had a notable collaboration with the director Spike Jonze. He edited Jonze's early short films How They Get There (1997) and Amarillo by Morning (1998). Jonze directed Being John Malkovich; in addition to winning the ACE Eddie for Zumbrunnen, that film was also nominated for the BAFTA Award for Best Editing. Their next collaboration, Adaptation. (2002), was nominated both for an ACE Eddie Award and for a Satellite Award for Best Editing.
