Film Editor
I am a professional film editor stationed in NYC. While I primarily cut narrative and documentary features, I also have experience editing short films, music videos, commercials, experimental films, and trailers.
As a student and prior apprentice to editor Walter Murch, I’ve focused my energies on exploring both the invisible and visible cut. While the former requires constructing a continuous and perceptibly seamless scene or experience, the latter draws attention to the presence of the cut for emotional or rhythmic purposes. I am a long-time drummer, so I often infuse rhythmic editing into my work.
I teach editing courses at SVA in Premiere and Avid, and cover a wide-range of material, from the basics of media organization, to the fundamentals of using the software, advanced editing techniques, color correction, sound mixing, sound design, special effects, and key-framing/automation. It is my goal that students not only gain appreciation for the effectiveness of the art of editing, but also learn a wide range of helpful industry-standard tools that will empower them to create their own work.
