Hi, I’m Conor Callahan (he/him)—a freelance editor, assistant editor, sound designer, director, and storyteller with a BFA in Editing and Sound Design from the University of North Carolina School of the Arts. Since graduating in 2022, I’ve worked on everything from indie film projects, animation, commercial campaigns, to studio films in post-production. I’m a passionate and driven editor skilled in Avid Media Composer, Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, and other programs with a sharp eye & ear for detail. Supporting directors and senior editors from assembly to final cut by effectively navigating fast-paced post-production environments, managing complex workflows, and providing clear communication and creative solutions to problems. I explore storytelling outside the edit room, beyond my directorial work. Within my exploration of immersive storytelling, I have utilized tools like Unreal Engine for animation and VR experiences and also my hobby for TTRPG game design.
