I have had the pleasure of working with David on two projects and I am very happy to offer my recommendation for David as a strong leader and skilled video editor of a production team. ln my time working with him, I experienced an individual who was very passionate about his work and driven by results. Using his creativity and resourcefulness, David provided edited videos that perfectly encompassed the goals of each project, as you will see in his portfolio.

I worked with David for more than 2 years on a very ambitious feature-length documentary project with teams spread between India and US. Throughout, David maintained an inspiring work ethic, always making promises that he could keep. He was primarily brought onto the team as a Video Editor, but soon doubled up as a Producer due to his ability to manage people and lead various Programs for the company. In terms of his video editing skills, he is meticulous in every detail and has a very methodological approach towards moving towards a final cut of any project he is editing. He has great taste in music in general and was very creative when it comes to VFX and SFX choices that he made for the countless videos he cut for the film. I highly recommend him to any film team not only for his expert video editing skills but also his ability to think like a Producer and most importantly executing while keeping the whole team together.

      Gratitude Lodge is a drug addiction treatment center in Southern California. I edit 30-second video posts for upload to the official Gratitude Lodge Instagram. My editing work for Gratitude Lodge includes: clip selection, background music, audio mixing, color grading, additional graphics, and captions. These 30-second videos typically feature excerpts of interviews with Gratitude Lodge staff members as they discuss the philosophy and impact of their work. My goal when creating these edits is to highlight the most poignant moments of each interview, while ensuring that the audio-video experience is as seamless as possible. One of my 30-second interview edits is already one of the most engaged posts on the Gratitude Lodge Instagram. You can watch it by clicking on the video thumbnail. Show less

      I joined the American Pavilion to work as a videographer during the full two weeks of the 2023 Cannes Film Festival. My work there included both handheld and tripod shooting of discussion panels, Q&As, luncheons, and social events. I also shot handheld interviews with directors, producers, writers, and actors about their work and ideas. I edited footage of these shoots, which included video from 2 - 4 different camera operators.

      At Studio71, I created and edited 60 videos for 5 different series. All videos are vertically-oriented, and optimized for smartphone playback on the Snapchat app. Each video's duration ranges from 3 to 15 minutes, depending on the series. Pacing, audio mixing, additional graphics, and clip selection were left to my discretion. My videos for Studio71 were among the highest performing among the Snapchat editing team in terms of average viewer retention. One of the series I regularly edited was entitled Clutter Cleanse. Each episode includes about 20 - 30 clips focused on organization tips and home decoration, all sourced from TikTok uploaders.
