Hi there! I’m Ellen Efstathiou, a filmmaker and editor with hands-on experience across editing, videography, and production support for university, festival, and community projects. I enjoy collaborating with writers and directors to tell compelling stories, solve on-set challenges, and bring ideas to life through thoughtful editing, lighting, and sound design. I studied Creative Writing and Cinema & Media Studies at Oberlin College and completed a year-long narrative film making program at Prague Film School. I’m excited to continue growing in multi-disciplinary roles—from coverage intern and videographer to sound/lighting support and beyond—while staying curious, organized, and collaborative.
