SIMONE CASSAS
FILM AND VIDEO EDITOR
REEL

I am an award-winning NYC-based Film & Video Editor with a strong background in motion graphics and post-production. I have over two decades of experience in several formats, genres and styles — from TV Promos, PSA’s, and commercials to corporate videos, documentaries and TV news.
Since the beginning of my career in Brazil (where I grew up), I learned how much I love to collaborate and be part of inspiring and challenging projects. Going to art school made me see the world in a more creative way and led me to love movies. I love storytelling, both fictional and non-fictional.
I bring a creative and sophisticated eye to all my work and pay extreme attention to detail,
making sure that the core creative concept of the job will always be held sacred.
Since May of 2022 I am the Lead Editor at the collective@LAIR and work with an amazing team who loves storytelling as much as I do!
