I cut trailers for films that premiere at Cannes and sell internationally. Now I teach editors how to do the same.

I started my career in New York and at Film House in London, where I trained alongside editors from Silk Factory and Zealot UK. Ten years cutting everything from small indies to studio blockbusters. Today, distributors come to me when a film needs its first impression built — the trailer that has to earn international sales before anyone has seen the movie. Compressing a story's emotional core into a couple of minutes is the whole job, and it's a craft almost nobody teaches properly.

That's why I built TrailerEditors.com.

If you're an editor trying to break into trailers, or a freelancer who wants trailer work in your reel, you'll find: two courses on trailer editing and my laws of storytelling, a two-month bootcamp, and a community with live masterclasses from top working trailer editors like Benedict Coulter, Bill Neil, and JD Funari.

Two editors I've trained went from zero professional experience to paid trailer work within a year.

If you run a trailer agency, I mentor junior editors directly — the training that usually takes three years of watching someone else's timeline, condensed and structured.
