CV

I am a freelance film and video editor who has gained a deep understanding of film's storytelling conventions through rigorous academic study. I have a BA, an MA, and a Ph.D in Film History, Theory, and Criticism from Italy. My academic interests range from Postmodern Theory and New Media Theory to Film Genre Analysis. I have studied Filmmaking and Film Editing in the US (Los Angeles and New York City), where I have earned the appropriate professional certificates. I aspire to edit feature films, and have a strong interest in narrative fiction, music videos, and documentary. I love the idea that technology and the techniques of film editing are not just instruments one applies to achieve narrative continuity, but tools to give films what they need in emotional terms. In fact, I have a particular inclination for cutting for emotional affect and density, and I enjoy being able to always keep the narrative on the right emotional course (be that fiction or documentary). I have edited short films and documentaries. I am prepared to work alone, but I enjoy teamwork and have a deep awareness of the collaborative nature of filmmaking. I am able to work easily with directors, those with a more autonomous approach but also those requiring someone with whom they can share an artistic vision. I am also available to work as assistant editor. I am available to work in London, Manchester, and the rest of the UK, but I am open to discuss other options. I am accustomed to traveling long distance for work-related reasons. Please, take a look at some excerpts from my work.
