User:Jeff Kushner/Russell Creak

Sound Editor and Educator Russell Creak is in fact a pseudonym for Film Editor and Supervising Sound Editor Jeff Kushner. Mr. Kushner uses this pseudonym when he has multiple credits on the same film or if he chooses to remove or mask his name from a project. The name is derived from two Foley sound effects: Russell (Rustle) which is usually a clothing movement but can refer to more than that; and Creak, the sound of anything from leaning forward in a chair to wooden floorboard creaks.

According to the imdb Russell's bogus biography claims that he "taught sound editing at the Los Angeles Film school from 2005 to 2008" and that he "was in a coma from 1997 to 2003."
