TESTIMONIALS

Ali is easily one of the best editors I've ever worked with. She's creative, efficient, and always pays extreme attention to detail, bringing a wonderful sensibility to any project she touches. She constantly strives to make any cut better, often unearthing the true heart of the piece. She is also amazing at working with archival, often creatively connecting clips and stills that previously didn't seem to go together at all. In addition to being fast AND good at editing, she's also remarkably funny, very warm-hearted, and just a wonderful person to know. I couldn't recommend Ali more.

Story, story, story. Ali always delivers the story. I’ve worked with
Ali for years - she is my go-to documentary editor. I’ve given her
jobs with hours of footage that need to be sculpted into a tight
2-minute piece in a few days. And I’m always amazed by that first
cut.

She’s also creative, technically adept and a joy to spend endless hours with.

Ali is a super fast, self-sufficient, creative editor. She knows what’s entertaining and is great at working on documentary-style branded content. She came onto my last project on a fast deadline and exceeded all expectations. She’s a one-stop-shop, doing all the finishing work through sound mix and color - it was very helpful to find that all in one person. I totally recommend her. 

-Larin Sullivan, Director/Producer, Trinket Films

Ali is way more than just a talented editor, she’s skilled at sound design, music selection, finding story beats, and seeing the big picture. You really have to trust someone to hand over your first feature to them, and I totally trusted Ali from the beginning. She’s a great communicator, and maybe most importantly, someone that’s fun to hang out with for long hours in the edit bay.

— Alexis Clements, Director/Producer, All We’ve Got

Ali brings a tremendous talent to her editing work. Her attention to detail and communication skills are great, her technical skills are sharp, and her ability to take vague or obtuse client requests and give them form is remarkable. On top of all that, she's really fast, and a joy to work with– collected, friendly and professional even when the deadlines get tight and the client notes get weird. As a motion graphics artist I'm often counting on the editor I am teamed with to integrate my work so that it looks good and meets the client's needs, and Ali always nails it.

What’s it like working with Ali? Honestly, I can’t sing her praises enough. I worked with Ali for several years/seasons of a couple shows. She and I (as archival producer) quickly developed a great rhythm and flow. She’s a great and clear communicator, easy going, always willing to take my suggestions and loves fine tuning the final product. She’s a great storyteller and quickly pulls a compelling storyline out of footage, and is extremely conscientious when it comes to whether a subject is being portrayed accurately and fairly. I miss working with Ali—it was a gift to work with someone with her skill and talent. You want her on your team!
