SAMMY SMART

Film Editor 
 Los Angeles based freelance film editor.
 Documentary film enthusiast.
 Part time horror movie critic.
 Full time crazy cat lady.

I've edited and assistant edited on a variety of independent feature films.  Most recently I worked on the Netflix Original 'Girlfriend's Day', directed by Michael Paul Stephenson.

I spend most of my time in the world of documentaries.  I've edited two documentary features and many more shorts and docu-series pitches.  Find out more about my documentary work here.

Fact: I am pretty obsessed with movie trailers.  I was lucky enough to start my editing career at a company that taught me the ins and outs of trailer editing.  Check out some of my promo work here.

ABOUT

About Me

Film Editor. Writer. Storyteller. 
I started my editing career working at a trailer company, where I learned how to effectively tell a story, sometimes in as little as 15 seconds. After three years there, I decided I wanted to branch out.  I've since gotten to work on a wide variety of projects and collaborate with some truly incredible people.  I've worked on narrative films, documentaries, trailers, sizzle reels, branded content, docu-series, music videos and more.  I've edited content for Netflix, Peacock, Discovery, ABC, Esquire Network, Seventeen Magazine, Comic-Con, Disney, Disney XD, Exxon Mobil, Fortive and the World Wildlife Fund.

When I'm not editing, I enjoy getting away from my computer and getting out into nature, or making misshapen bowls on a pottery wheel.  I also spend a good amount of time giving belly rubs to my two cats.
