Documentarian / Editor
- TELLING TRUE STORIESWith over a decade of experience in documentary editing and production, my work often focuses on impactful, character-driven stories layered with nuanced cultural narratives.
Some of my latest films include BAD PRESS, a gripping political thriller following a motley crew of foul-mouthed journalists in their fight to protect press freedom in Indian Country (Winner of Special Jury Award at the Sundance Film Festival, now streaming on the Criterion Collection) and ACCEPTED, a bold coming-of-age story of four high school seniors caught in the midst of a college admissions scandal (Emmy Award Nomination for Outstanding Social Issue Documentary).
Most recently, I edited a documentary feature for MGM+ titled LEE SOO MAN: THE KING OF K-POP, a vibrant biopic about one of the masterminds behind K-Pop as a culture-shifting industry and musical genre. It is set to release on Prime in the coming months.
As an editor, I thrive on the collaborative process of discovery, collecting and making sense of the nuggets of truths to form a compelling and cinematic narrative.
When I am not editing, I enjoy story consulting and using my cutting skills in the kitchen, on family and friend’s hair and clothes—wherever a keen editor’s eye is needed. ✂️
