“A film is made three times: once in the writing, once in the shooting, and once in the editing.”
Robert Bresson

Edited like a story.

I'm an editor and an Emmy-winning journalist. I don't just trim clips. I find the story in your footage and cut toward it, so your video holds attention from the first second.

With a script or without.

Affordable, but not disposable.

Questions

Who are you?

I'm an editor, filmmaker, Emmy-winning journalist, writer, and former actor. Better than a résumé: I'll send you a free sample edit of your footage, so we can see if we're a match.

What is the free sample edit?

Send your footage and I'll edit a short sample for free. It's a chance for both of us to make sure we're a match before you commit.

Is my footage kept private?

Yes. All creator content is welcome, and your raw footage is never shared.

What if my video runs longer than 5 minutes?

Each additional finished minute is $62, rounded up to the next full minute. A 5:20 video is billed as 1 extra minute. Length is the finished video, not your raw footage. Over 10 minutes gets a custom quote.

How do I pay?

50% to start and 50% before final delivery, by Zelle or bank transfer. You get the clean final file once the balance is paid.

What platforms do you edit for?

Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube and other creator platforms, plus brand and marketing video.

Can I send my own music or graphics?

Yes. Anything you supply, including music, graphics and a script, is used at no extra charge.

Send me the footage.

I'll send back a free sample edit so we can see if we're a match.
