About

Award-Winning Editor & Director-Driven Specialist
I’m a decorated video editor who approaches every project with the vision and precision of a film director. My lifelong background in cinema—culminating in the honor of screening my work on the red carpet at the iconic TCL Chinese Theatre—allows me to edit not just for continuity, but for performance, rhythm, and soul. I don’t just cut clips; I direct the story from the timeline.

Director’s Perspective: I bring a rare, sophisticated edge to pacing and emotion that only a pure film background can provide.

Native English Fluency: Offering seamless communication for global productions and high-level creative collaboration.

Versatile Expertise: From cinematic feature films and TV commercials to high-performance social media content optimized via A/B testing.

Award-Winning Standards: A portfolio backed by industry prizes and a commitment to “Red Carpet” quality in every export.

My strongest skill is the ability to bridge the gap between high-art cinema and data-driven results. See the difference at amandacineasta.com.br.

Let’s connect and give your footage the directorial eye it deserves.

A Brazilian perfume brand. I did a historical research about the brand and created a commercial script based on it. My idea was to create such a storytelling that looked like it was a movie trailer and not a commercial, which the client embraced and even screened on TV later on. I worked with two actors, I had my own equipment and I edited myself.
