I began editing video around age 16, in a time where you needed to install speciality hardware in your monstrous PC tower in order to ingest the crummy, interlaced SD footage from the cheap-o (but still expensive) camcorder you bought at Best Buy. Then I went to college and learned to cut on a Steenbeck, a much more archaic but much more fun tool. After that I climbed the ranks in NYC's post houses, and over the years have cut for global and national brands such as AIG, Pantene, Gatorade, Target, Verizon, L'Oreal, and Garnier to name a few. Always seeking diverse projects and creative challenges, I also love to cut music videos, digital series, and short films, as well as podcasts. I've edited audio-only promotional content for award-winning podcast "The Wilderness," and cut season 2 of popular episodic sci-fi narrative podcast, "Limetown." In addition to cutting branded content and TV spots, I've produced many a solo video project doing my own directing, shooting, and editing to produce story-driven docu-style shorts.
Projects
- Hope You Fail (Doc Short)When Rich Myers’ newly-rebooted Leeds dessert shop "Get Baked" gets busted by Trading Standards for the use of illegal American sprinkles, it’s an opportunity for him to leverage his loyal social media following and make a grab for viral fame. He gladly creates an online uproar with frenzied social media posts, dubbing the scandal #Sprinklegate. But while the story gets global attention and propels the business forward, Rich continues to live in the shadow of his previous defeats. Hope You Fail
