Expert Video Editing — Built for Story, Not Just Assembly
I'm a senior editor with over two decades of experience shaping documentaries, series, and high-end digital content. This isn't just cutting footage — it's editorial judgment, pacing, structure, and polish that elevates the final piece.
Clear pricing helps you plan, but don't let the numbers scare you. Final quotes are always tailored to your project, and I'm absolutely open to working with Non-Profits, students, small productions, and people with limited budgets when I can.

FAQ
Common questions
How many revisions are included?
Most projects include 1–2 rounds. Additional revisions are billed hourly.
Do you work hourly or per project?
Both. Projects are typically fixed-rate; ongoing work is often hourly or retainer-based.
Can you match a lower budget?
If scope can be adjusted, sometimes. The focus is always maintaining quality.
Do you handle raw footage organization?
Yes — but heavily disorganized footage may affect pricing.
