I have advanced skills in documentary film editing, and I've helped deliver projects to major festivals and networks around the world.
I can help directors find the story
in hundreds of hours of footage, or fix rough cuts
on projects that are struggling to finish.
Behind the scenes, I can wrangle dozens
of terabytes of footage and shepherd films through
finishing and delivery error-free.
