An Experienced Storyteller
Zachary Almeida started editing at the age of 12, continuing to edit through high school before attending Emerson College. One of the many short films he cut there, Inside Boxes (2015), became a finalist at the Cannes Short Film Corner. After moving to Los Angeles, he worked on productions ranging from scripted comedy and informational web content to reality TV and documentaries while still working with upcoming directors on personal short films.
Sitting in an edit room, surrounded by footage, pursuing the perfect cut is an environment in which he both thrives and enjoys. Editing has become more than just a process to him, it's a unique way to tell a story. He's told some great stories so far, but it's the stories he has yet to tell that excite him most.
