Finding the Story in Light – A Look Inside VISIONARIES
For me, editing isn’t just about piecing scenes together—it’s about shaping emotion, rhythm, and meaning. It’s about taking raw footage and crafting something that lingers long after the final frame.
That’s exactly what I set out to do with VISIONARIES, a series that dives deep into the minds of groundbreaking artists. In our latest episode, we explore James Turrell, a master of light and perception. His work bends reality, immersing you in pure color and space—and capturing that on screen was no small feat. Editing this episode wasn’t just about showing his art; it was about making you feel it.
How do you translate an experience so visceral and otherworldly into a film? That’s where storytelling through editing comes in. Every cut, every transition, and every moment of stillness was designed to mirror Turrell’s own manipulation of space and time—so that you, the viewer, step inside his world rather than just observe it.
If you’re as fascinated by the art of storytelling as I am, I’d love for you to check out the episode HERE:
VISIONARIES: JAMES TURREL
Keanu and Gard get the adventure they’re seeking on a trip into the Arizona desert to visit famed artist James Turrell’s magnum opus: the Roden Crater. They are offered unprecedented access to this mysterious work, exploring the tunnels and chambers that Turrell has spent more than 40 years creating. The experience offers deep insight into the use of light and space, and how we as humans perceive the world all around us.
This is what drives me as an editor—finding the heartbeat of a story and bringing it to life in a way that truly connects. Whether it’s an art documentary, an action-packed film, or an emotionally charged drama, I bring the same level of craft and dedication to every project I take on, pouring everything into crafting edits that don’t just tell a story, but make you feel it.
If you’re working on a project that needs an editor who sees beyond the cuts—someone who digs into the emotion, the rhythm, the impact—let’s talk. I love collaborating with filmmakers, producers, and creatives who want to push boundaries and make something that lasts.
