Editor - Vikash Patel OZARK editor Vikash Patel not only has the distinction of cutting twenty episodes over four seasons of the hit Netflix series, but also receiving an Emmy® nomination for his editing on a standout episode that featured the critically-acclaimed performance of guest actor Tom Pelphrey, playing the part of Wendy Byrde's (Laura Linney) brother, Ben.  In addition to his contributions on OZARK, Viks has also lent his storytelling talents to; THE MORNING SHOW (2019), BATES MOTEL (2015-16), LONGMIRE (2012-14), SMALLVILLE (2009-11) and TOP CHEF (2006-07).  Viks also cut the pilot for the TNT series, SNOWPIERCER (2020). The plot of OZARK is built around financial advisor Marty Byrde (Jason Bateman) who, after a money laundering scheme for a Mexican drug cartel goes wrong, proposes to make amends by offering to set up a bigger laundering operation in the Lake of the Ozarks region of central Missouri. Marty suddenly moves his family from the Chicago suburb of Naperville to the remote summer resort community of Osage Beach, Missouri.  When the Byrdes arrive in Missouri, they become entangled with local criminals, including the Langmore and Snell families, and later the Kansas City Mafia.
