Testimonials
What directors say
Very few people in the industry are able to conduct the storytelling the way Felipe does.
I have great admiration for his ability to think a movie, and to re-imagine it from the footage.
For the first time in years, I felt like I was learning something in an edit. The film is without question 100% better.
Anyone who has had the good fortune to have Felipe on board, as editor or consultant, will see his film to its full potential.
Felipe was the editor who gave me the most incredible and unimaginable proposals.
An editor who knows to maximize a story's potential and present the deep access that he/she has secured.
