Film & Video Editor — Toronto / Remote

Video Editor & Post-Production Specialist

Every cut is a story decision.

I cut commercials, narrative, music videos, and always-on social content — then finish them in one room: color grade, sound design, VFX, and motion titles. Eight years in post, obsessed with pacing and audience retention.

What directors and producers say.

Faiz cuts like a writer. The story we thought we'd lost in the footage showed up in the edit — the film is better for every decision in it.
Maya Renshaw — Director, Northline Films
The rarest thing in post: someone who hits every deadline without you having to ask twice. Broadcast specs, last-minute client notes, midnight exports — handled.
Daniel Okafor — Executive Producer, Streamline Studios
Our retention doubled after the re-edit. Faiz didn't just cut the series — the whole content calendar got rebuilt around how people actually watch.
Priya Nair — Content Manager, Nova Wellness
Creative, fast, and completely reliable. The grade and mix on our launch film made it look like twice the budget.
Tom Alvarez — Head of Production, Horizon Group
