Hi, I’m Andy Tolbert, an award winning Senior Video Editor with more than 20 years of broadcast, live event, and documentary experience. I thrive in high-pressure production environments, excel at building scalable post-production workflows, and enjoy mentoring editorial teams to help them grow. I’m passionate about craft, storytelling, and solving complex technical challenges under tight deadlines. Over the years I’ve led post-production for WWE, FOX, ESPN, VH1, A&E, and Discovery, blending editorial storytelling with graphics integration and problem-solving to deliver high-impact features, promos, and long-form packages that reach millions weekly. Long form is my favorite. I like nothing better than getting lost in a story and crafting it and shaping it into a final impactful vision.
