About Me

_____________VISIT MY WEBSITE: www.amymari.com_____________ ____________________________________________________________ A BRIEF HISTORY:Recently I have been doing numberous odd freelance jobs however I am most proud of my role on the feature film, “The Skeptic”, edited last summer. The film starred Tim Daly, Tom Arnold, and Zoe Saldana and was written and directed by Tennyson Bardwell. I was hired to assist in editing the fiinal cut of the film, essentially “fine tuning” the film. Distribution of the film is still TBD.In 2005 I worked as an Assistant Editor, at City Light Media in New York, NY. My responsibilities there involved everything from creating assemble edits and rough cuts for episodic television programming, to digitizing and organizing footage. I also apprenticed on a few productions that involved creating visual effects and color corrections on the HD Nitris System and the Avid Symphony. Prior to that experience I was involved in several independent film and theater productions.My educational background includes a degree in Digital Video Editing at The International Academy of Design and Technology in Toronto, ON and a Bachelor of Science from Russell Sage College in upstate NY.Please visit my website for a complete list of film/tv credits, www.amymari.com. ____________________________________________________________ _ FILM/TV CREDITS: "Emancipation Celebration Festival Promo", Editor
