About me
I am a storyteller specializing in Motion Picture/Video Editing. My diverse portfolio ranges from working with Disney ABC Digital Media Studios in Los Angeles to creating Visual Promotions in India for 2 of the biggest Indian films of all time. Between these positions, I have gained experience in creating Digital Marketing Content for Films & TV shows for release on TV, YouTube & Social Media. I have developed excellent communication skills, attention to detail, organisation skills and an ability to deliver quality content in short timelines.In 2015, I completed MFA in Film Production with an emphasis in Editing from Chapman University, California, USA. As a student, I edited multiple short films & TV Pilots, winning accolades in festivals across USA. As a freelancer in Los Angeles, I edited music videos, short films, trailers, commercials & corporate videos. I gained deeper insight into the world of documentary editing when I began working as Assistant Editor on American documentary "The Mosaic of Life"
In 2017, I edited the popular short film “Return of One Idiot” directed by renowned Indian filmmaker & actor, Amole Gupte, to promote the culture of saving & investing in India. As the editor of Visual Promotions of the mega budget south Indian film '2.0", I not only edited TV Spots, Commercials, Behind The Scenes & various Social Media videos, but also learned about the intricacies of making a major VFX film.
As Social Media & Digital Marketing head at O Clinic, I developed several subsidiary skills such as Graphic Design, Digital Signage creation, Website Development, Facebook ad promotion, Social Media Management, supervising and training junior staff etc.
I am an Avid certified user, expert in Adobe Premiere Pro. I am also an intermediate user of DaVinci Resolve, Photoshop & After Effects. I have experience of Remote Collaboration workflows with platforms like Frame.io.
I seek opportunities in the Toronto based TV/Film/Advertising industries.
