"I am a film and video editor with 15 years of experience, working on TV series, documentaries, talk shows, news, trailers, commercials, and motion pictures both in the United States and abroad. A decade ago, back in Russia, when I had my first child, I couldn't continue working at the studios. That's when I started teaching editing at home. This humble beginning eventually evolved into my own video editing school, known as Moscow Screen Studio. I designed a course focused on practical, hands-on knowledge with minimal theory, offering exercises, and personalized feedback. 58 students have completed the course, and over 100 have taken private lessons with me.
In 2016, I relocated to California and resumed my career as an editor. The last documentary I edited was showcased at The Hitching Post Theater in Tehachapi, California, and it is now a part of a local history museum's exhibition. Another documentary, in which I worked as an assistant editor, is scheduled for release on Amazon later this year. Additionally, the sci-fi short film "The Rising" was screened in Laemmle and Chinese Movie theaters in Hollywood and won "The Best Sci-fi Short Film" and "The Best Conspiracy Thriller" Awards at the Silicon Beach Film Festival and the LA Independent Women Film Festival.
I offer video editing lessons in Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects for those who wish to learn how to create promo videos for their business websites or social media platforms. I also help young professionals to kickstart their careers as video editors. If you're looking to avoid the high costs associated with hiring video production companies for frequent promo videos, consider investing a small amount of your time in learning this craft yourself. If you aspire to become an editor and wish to bypass lengthy educational processes, this is an excellent place to start. After 15 years in the editing room, I know what information is truly valuable, and I provide you with only the essence of what you need to succeed." less...
