In 2025, I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to edit a video essay for Eureka Entertainment’s 4K UHD release of High Noon (1952). To edit an extra on a blu-ray release had been a bit of a dream job for me, so it was a thrill to be able to do it and since then I’ve continued to work on many Eureka projects, editing video essays, interviews and trailers. Here is a list of everything I’ve worked on, with some information about each piece.

HIGH NOON (1952)
Format: 4K UHD
Label: Eureka Entertainment
Released: July 28th, 2025

Women of the West: A Feminist Approach to High Noon
Written and Narrated by J. E. Smyth
Edited by Luke Ryan
Producer: Craig Ian Mann
Exec. Producers: Kevin Lambert, Jacob Milligan
Runtime: 18 minutes

This piece focuses on the strong female characters in High Noon and the history of women’s roles in American western films up until that point. While I’ve been editing for over 25 years at this point, this being my first on disc extra was still a little nerve wracking at times but I really enjoyed putting it together and learned a lot in the process too. Plus it was a great excuse to finally watch High Noon, what a film!

THE SONS OF GREAT BEAR (1966)
Format: Blu-ray
Label: Eureka Entertainment
Released: July 21st, 2025

Homelands: German Indianthusiasm and The Sons of Great Bear
Written and Narrated by Lee Broughton
Edited by Luke Ryan
Producer: Craig Ian Mann
Executive Producer: Jacob Milligan
Runtime: 26 minutes

This video essay on the subject of The Sons of Great Bear (1966) is a really interesting look at Germany’s fascination with Native Americans and how heavily it has been celebrated through fiction and movies over the years. Released the week before the High Noon 4K, so technically the first released blu-ray I’ve worked on but the second project I worked on for Eureka. Despite not being the biggest fan of westerns generally speaking, working on two very different examples of the genre was a really fun experience right out of the gate, outside of the difficulty in finding my feet with this style of editing, at least. Hard work but rewarding!

FINIS TERRAE (1929)
