Film & Video Editor — Toronto / Remote
Video Editor & Post-Production Specialist
Every cut is a story decision.
I cut commercials, narrative, music videos, and always-on social content — then finish them in one room: color grade, sound design, VFX, and motion titles. Eight years in post, obsessed with pacing and audience retention.

What directors and producers say.
Faiz cuts like a writer. The story we thought we'd lost in the footage showed up in the edit — the film is better for every decision in it.
The rarest thing in post: someone who hits every deadline without you having to ask twice. Broadcast specs, last-minute client notes, midnight exports — handled.
Our retention doubled after the re-edit. Faiz didn't just cut the series — the whole content calendar got rebuilt around how people actually watch.
Creative, fast, and completely reliable. The grade and mix on our launch film made it look like twice the budget.
