About

Hi, I’m James Lamas, a video editor with hands-on post-production experience across editing, color correction, and storytelling. I excel at shaping footage into cohesive, engaging narratives and collaborating with directors, writers, and crews to deliver polished results.

During my time as a student filmmaker and volunteer, I wrote, directed, and edited A Match to Remember, learned location scouting, casting, and running a film set, and picked up color correction in post. I also contributed BTS photography for Downhill, interned in the Austin Film Festival screenwriting department, and worked on other student projects as a Director of Photography and Audio, building a versatile skill set for on-set and post workflows.
