Had the pleasure of co-editing this reel in celebration of Ang Lee’s Golden Eddie at this year’s ACE Eddie Awards @acefilmeditors It was a blast working with my friend and fellow Project Invovle fellow @zijman

More screening details to come. 🍙
2025 Recap - Part 2 - We became a party of 3 and spent a lot of time at home with our little guy. The perfect time for me to edit some of those fun projects I was talking about.
Becoming a dad has been more rewarding than I ever thought. Special shout out to my wife @areengharibian who’s been an amazing mama to Raffi and the best partner I could’ve ever asked for. We even dressed up as Marty, George and Loraine for Halloween, and won a costume contest at @gameduderocks !
@avocadoproductions also made a comeback in a big way with my DP bro @mattybeavs making me look good, as always.
And lastly I was also able to attend the premiere to The Lost Bus and Spilled Milk at @tiff_net and we mixed @seaweedsnacksfilm at Formosa. Stay tuned for more on these projects and more in the coming year!
2025 Recap - Part 1 - The first half of the year was filled with lots of red carpet photos featuring @areengharibian ‘s bump, friends, and all sorts of exciting adventures.
I was so fortunate this year to work with some great people through @filmindependent@acefilmeditors and @monkeypawproductions - who introduced me to my new film brother @jaredleaf 🥛
Not to mention all the professional video production work I did with @visualeffectssociety & my first feature editing credit @maulerthemovie
I also got to build my dream office in our garage, while also growing my collection on video games and movies 👾🎞️
But little did we know how much our lives would change for the better in the second half of the year…
Happy Birthday to my baby love @areengharibian Watching you become a mother has been one of the biggest joys of my life. And I couldn’t imagine raising such a cutie (your clone) with anyone else! 🥰 We love you mama ❤️
Being an Apprentice Editor on The Lost Bus was the ride of a lifetime! Working on location in Santa Fe was like being in a western; complete with picturesque sunsets and some of the best food I’ve ever had.
I want to give a special shoutout to my wife @areengharibian for being so supportive and patient while I was out there. I learned so much from this experience that I will carry on to all my future projects!
The film is playing in select theater now and will be streaming on Apple TV+ on October 3rd.
