Film Editor Services

New York's editing community works inside one of cinema's founding cutting traditions. It runs from Thelma Schoonmaker's Oscar-winning lifelong teamwork with Martin Scorsese on Raging Bull and Goodfellas through The Departed, The Irishman, and Killers of the Flower Moon, to Sam Pollard's defining work with Spike Lee on Mo' Better Blues and 4 Little Girls plus his own documentary directing, to Tim Squyres on Ang Lee's slate from Sense and Sensibility through Crouching Tiger and Life of Pi, to Susan E.

Morse on the Woody Allen canon, Walter Murch's NY ties, Anne V. Coates's New York work, Tatiana S. Riegel, and Jay Cassidy on Silver Linings Playbook and American Hustle. Our editor roster sits in that Local 700 ACE East lineage. They work out of Picture Shop in Manhattan and Brooklyn, with credits on The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and Master of the Air, plus PostWorks NY (two Emmy sound awards), Harbor Picture Company, The Post Crew, Nice Shoes, and the Post New York Alliance network of specialty houses.

Their credits span theatrical features and A24 and Killer Films feature slates. They cover prestige series for HBO, Apple TV+, Netflix, Disney+, FX, Hulu, Paramount+, and Amazon Prime Video, along with documentary work for DOC NYC and HBO Documentary Films. They also serve the Madison Avenue commercial economy, which finishes Cannes Lions and Emmy-grade campaigns out of NYC suites.

Our matching weighs genre, intended pacing, post-prod timeline, and the cut platform. We use Avid Media Composer for prestige episodic and union features, Adobe Premiere Pro for documentary and unscripted, and DaVinci Fix for cuts going straight into color. From there, we narrow to editors whose recent credits and working style match the brief. Bilingual assistants are on hand where shoots need them, thanks to NYC's polyglot crew base. Assemblies often start during principal photography at Steiner, Silvercup, Kaufman Astoria, or Wildflower, so directors can review and adjust coverage before wrap.

Remote review is routine here. EST sets the standard US East Coast cut window, with a morning overlap to London and Paris and an afternoon overlap to LA, all run through Sohonet ClearView, Streambox, Evercast, and Frame.io. Delivery covers US broadcast QC, Emmy and Oscar tech specs, IMF, ProRes 4444 XQ, and DCP for theatrical. It also meets the streamer platform specs that Netflix, Apple TV+, Disney+, HBO Max, Hulu, FX, Paramount+, and Amazon Prime Video Originals are finished against. We log New York State Film Tax Credit compliance, worth up to 30% with the post-prod add-on, through edit labor and suite invoicing.
