About

Filmmaker, director and video editor with 10+ years of experience working in Los Angeles and internationally across narrative film, branded content, interviews, documentaries, stand-up and social media.

I’ve directed two award-winning short films and a feature film distributed internationally, and I’ve also worked extensively in post-production, editing short-form content, interviews, comedy reels, documentary-style pieces and promotional videos.

My strongest skills are story-driven editing, pacing, structure, performance, and turning raw material into something clear, engaging and cinematic. I’m comfortable working independently, taking detailed notes, and collaborating remotely with clients and creative teams.

Available for video editing, short-form/social content, trailers and teasers, narrative projects, interview/podcast editing, screenplay feedback and creative development.

Based in Israel and working primarily in English.
