Take an idea and give it meaning.
My job is a lot of fun. I’m fascinated with storytelling, and as a film editor I have the unique position of wearing multiple hats to take an idea and give it meaning. I get to be a bit of everything: a writer as I shape and rearrange scenes, a director as I assess performances and build a cohesive arc for characters, a cinematographer, as I meticulously choose images that marry the aesthetic with the desired emotion, and often a composer, as I balance the tone of a scene with music. Of course, it’s a collaborative and often humbling experience, but when executed well, feels a bit like magic.
