About

I’m Sekou Cherif, a video editor and production professional based in New York, with a B.A. in Film & Media Arts and a minor in Economics. I’ve built hands-on experience editing across podcast, documentary, and institutional productions—taking projects from filming and audio/video quality control through final delivery.

I’m reliable and detail-oriented in fast-paced, deadline-driven environments, and I’m comfortable collaborating with clients, stakeholders, and cross-functional teams. From coordinating multi-round revisions to managing digital assets and timelines, I focus on clear communication, consistent quality, and workflows that keep productions moving smoothly.
