For seven years, my job has been to decide what happens next. Editing does that — it's where the footage stops being footage and starts being a story. I've cut ad films that had to sell a shoe in six seconds and sports spots that had to make a heartbeat land on a frame. I've cut food films where the steam had to rise on the right beat, and corporate videos where the challenge was making a boardroom feel human. I've cut music videos where rhythm wasn't a guideline, it was the law. Seven months ago I started building films instead of only assembling them. AI filmmaking gave me a camera that doesn't exist, a location I don't have to fly to, and a lighting setup I can rewrite at 2 a.m. But the tools were never the point. A generated frame is just an unedited frame — and I've spent seven years learning what to do with those. So that's where I sit now: one hand on the timeline, one hand on the prompt. Old-school craft, new-school toolkit. The story still has to earn its cut. Here is my portfolio:https://vimeo.com/user208593071?fl=pp&fe=sh&utm_source=ig&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bio
