Conduct interviews and direct real people on set to capture authentic stories.
Provide art direction during shoots, ensuring camera angles and compositions reflect the creative vision.
Oversee editing, including cuts, transitions, pacing, color, and sound for high‑quality output.
Collaborate with designers, motion graphics editors, producers, and other creative professionals.
Manage multiple projects simultaneously, meeting deadlines and budget requirements.
