I’m a professional trailer editor who share tips and tricks for how to edit great trailers!
I made this channel to teach people how to make great trailers using, tutorials, essays reviews, and behind-the-scenes looks at the art of making trailers.
Trailers are a niche industry, but I know there are a lot of people interested in watching and making them; I want to bring together everyone who shares my love for this fun and exciting art form.
Some of my credits include: Among Us, Half-Life: Alyx, Psychonauts 2, Subnautica, Spelunky 2, Dead Cells, Ooblets, Katana ZERO and more!
I got my start in the movie trailer industry as an assistant editor at a house which produced for: The Matrix Trilogy, Spider-Man, Pirates of the Caribbean and many more.

Last trailer from me this Summer Game Fest season! Another collab with Failbetter Games. I don’t play life-sims or farming games but Mandrake’s premise and design made it immediately enticing.
Beautiful art and clever writing made this a fun one. I so wish this game was done already so I could play it and interact with the characters more.

Another trailer of mine debuted during Wholesome Direct! Usually I take on the projects that look like the easiest thing to turn into a trailer, but a narrative courtroom deck builder was somehow difficult to resist.
I first worked with this game’s producer almost 10 years ago on Tricky Towers! It was also great to with with Meghna Jayanth, the writer of 80 Days and many other great games.

My latest trailer! It’s been 8 years since I worked with Blendo Games on Quadrilateral Cowboy and this was just as fun but with SO MUCH MORE!
I don’t like to toot my own horn often, but this one feels especially epic and I love this trailer so much. Thanks to the Annapurna folks and popagenda for bringing me on.
