Will Merrick is an editor-turned-director who is part of the “Screenlife movement” of telling movie stories via personal electronic devices such as phones and laptops. Merrick is part of a tight-knit group of USC film alumni, including co-director and co-editor Nick Johnson, producers Natalie Qasabian, Aneesh Chaganty, Sev Ohanian, Adam Sidman, Jo Henriquez, and Congyu E., as well as digital film veteran Timur Bekmambetov.
After working as an editor on various film projects, Johnson was a co-lead editor on the Chaganty-directed thriller, Searching (2018), starring John Cho and Debra Messing, which launched the Screenlife trend and earned a remarkable $75.6 million global return on a tiny $880,000 budget. Will Merrick served as co-editor on the Hulu-aired thriller, Run (2020), starring Sarah Paulson and directed and co-written (with Ohanian) by Chaganty.
Merrick’s debut as writer-director (with Johnson) was the Screenlife-style thriller, Missing (2023), following the template established by Searching and co-starring Storm Reid and Nia Long, earning over $26 million by mid-February after a mid-January release.
