Hi, I’m Jana Vidal Santamaría. I’m a professional editor with a focus on live sound recording and post-production for cinema and television. I studied at Instituto del Cine de Madrid (ICM) and earned diplomas in Professional Editing and Post-Production for Cinema and TV, as well as Live Sound Recording and Sound Postproduction. My path has taken me from Santander to Madrid, and I moved to Madrid to study cinematography on a SOLO scholarship, where I continued to specialise in sound and post-production workflows. I’m a proactive, curious person who adapts quickly to new environments and loves staying busy by working on meaningful projects. I enjoy cooking and feel energized by collaborative creative work, always aiming to contribute useful ideas and strong results.
