SUMMARY
I have edited two feature films in languages I don’t speak. They went on to have a theatrical release and receive critical praise.
I was promoted from a part-time editor on Disney’s IGN Show, to full-time, then to lead editor, where I ran a team of 8 editors and 1 assistant editor. I executed deliveries to the network, performed color correction, and oversaw quality control.
The first feature film I edited was for FOX and distributed on Netflix.
The sound design I have created in commercials has often been used in the final mix.
Music I discovered has often been approved for final use.
