Our stories are delicate, and they ought to be told as such.

 

The pace at which I work upholds steadiness, slowness, and mindfulness to help create films that reveal deeper and quieter truths, rather than hurried and loud generalities.

The atmosphere of my creative process is just as important as the mood of my films. I aim to work alongside other artists who appreciate the fragility of the human spirit, the sanctity of life, and the sway of beauty.

 

Kindled by a fascination with the human experience, the art of conversation, and rhythmic emotional landscapes, I edit and write documentaries, films, and client videos.

My work has been screened on television and across film festivals. In 2018, Kosher Love, a  documentary I edited, was nominated for a Canadian Screen Award (Best Documentary Program)I am also a recipient of the Doc Accelerator Fellowship at Hot Docs, as well as a member of Canadian Cinema Editors and the Documentary Organization of Canada.

CINEMATIC SPOTS OF TIME

Our stories are delicate, and they ought to be told as such.

 

The pace at which I work upholds steadiness, slowness, and mindfulness to help create films that reveal deeper and quieter truths, rather than hurried and loud generalities.

The atmosphere of my creative process is just as important as the mood of each scene I edit. I aim to work alongside other artists who appreciate the fragility of the human spirit, the sanctity of life, and the sway of beauty.

 

Kindled by a fascination with the human experience, the art of conversation, and rhythmic emotional landscapes, I'm a Toronto-based editor who cuts narrative films, TV and documentaries.

A graduate of the Editors' Lab at the  Canadian Film Centre, I am also a fellow of the Doc Accelerator Program at the Hot Docs Film Festival and an associate member of Canadian Cinema Editors

 

Kosher Love (2017) was nominated for a Canadian Screen Award (Best Documentary Program). Faraway (2020) has screened at over 30 film festivals around the world (including Slamdance, Camerimage, and RIDM), and received the Best of the Year Award as a Vimeo Staff Pick. I Remember the Footprints in the Snow (2022) won the Outstanding Short Film Award at Reelworld. Recently I edited two TV episodes of Black Life: Untold Stories (2023), a CBC docuseries that premiered at TIFF, as well as the final episode of Sounds Black for the History Channel (airing in the fall of 2024). Currently, I'm editing a Telefilm feature film, Chopping Boy, and this year I was nominated for a Canadian Screen Award (Best Picture Editing, Documentary) for the episode "Haven, But No Heaven" of Black Life.
