About me
Why I’m good at what I do:Editing is an invisible world. No one ever sees the hours of footage just the seemingly effortless song and dance with perfect dialogue (Or the fifty-two drafts of a script before you can get the green light)
This can make my job behind the curtain feel unappreciated at times but the quality of the end product is all I care about.
What I love:
I love to tell a story defined by characters, especially ones with political or economical exposure. These projects are hard to find and rarely lucrative enough to pay rent in Los Angeles. Regardless, these are the projects that I enjoy bleeding over with a purpose. Give me your pile of footage and I’ll get you something good out of it.
Past 6 Years:
Editing video, writing dialogue, and pitching ideas in creative think tanks for Bermanbraun, Comedy Central, Woven, Mashable
