Available to hire
I’m Alessandro Ruocco, a dedicated Junior Editor / Edit Assistant with over five years of broadcast credits across documentary, factual, and natural history storytelling. I handle the full offline workflow—from ingest and media management through to VFX turnovers and conform support—and I thrive in fast, collaborative environments.
I’m fluent with Adobe Premiere Pro (including Productions) and Avid, comfortable handling large volumes of footage, and I bring hands-on editorial experience to support senior editors. I’m passionate about documentary storytelling and enjoy stepping up to cut VTs and rough cuts to help editors shape compelling narratives.
