About me
I am a Toronto-based film editor with a penchant for short-form arthouse drama and genre-blending storytelling. As I’m moving towards long-form, I’m happy to take detours in factual and non-scripted content.During my film studies academic journey I focused on the 1960s and 1970s, from the Italian masters of dark comedy to the New Hollywood generation.
I became fond of filmmakers who envisioned tools and styles ahead of their time and shaped contemporary cinema. As an all-around filmmaker who has decided to funnel everything into editing, I have produced, written, and directed, too. Thus I am always interested in working on exciting projects in film, digital media, and creative initiatives beyond.
With 15 years in film/media production across two continents, I am experienced in multiple creative, technical, and management roles. I have run my own video production studio and I am used to working in teams, having held many different positions inside them.
I have a comprehensive home studio set up, but I also am mobile and flexible when it comes to contracts and work hours. I am drawn to the energy of doing on-set work.

Additional information:
I believe my strongest suit is my fluency with different software platforms and workflows, and my eagerness to learn more. I know well the whole Adobe suite, Da Vinci Resolve, Avid Media Composer and Final Cut Pro X, and this proved very useful while freelancing as a videographer/editor.
While there's not much offline-online workflow in corporate video and small indie projects, I had the opportunity to intern at Technicolor Toronto in 2019 for over three months and learn a new perspective. I spent most of my time in the editorial department assisting online editors working on high-profile projects, sometimes taking care of conforming and inserting operations myself. I became familiar with conforming the cutting copy using Da Vinci Resolve and/or Avid Media Composer.
My existing knowledge of both software platforms eased the way, but the workflow required to match the copy, including prepping the session for the colourists, is something that I could only have learned with hands-on experience.
