Discover Top Video Editors - News in Paterson, New Jersey, USA

My professional life has, for the most part, been with Reuters - a company whose dedication to news accuracy, fairness, and unbiased reporting has shaped me into the journalist I am today. I currently run the North American overnight desk and am responsible for any breaking news from 9pm to 7am. Trump rallies, Black Lives Matter protests, coronavirus updates, California wildfires, celebrity deaths - the news gamut at night is varied and non-stop. It takes a calm head, a fast hand, and sturdy judgement to be a one-person nightly news outlet, but it is rewarding to know that while the country sleeps, I'm making international headlines that will define the next morning. Previously, I worked as a dayside producer in Reuters bureaus in Los Angeles and New York. I interviewed world leaders during the United Nations General Assembly, spoke with A-list stars on the Oscars red carpet, profiled victims of Hurricane Katrina and the Las Vegas mass shooting, and managed one of the first virtual reality news teams in the country. Any journalist will tell you - keep a bag packed, your phone on, and be prepared for anything. It's my life. It's what I do. And I love it.

I’m an OJA award nominated filmmaker and multimedia journalist, based in Manhattan. After changing careers from immunology to journalism and filmmaking I have completed a virtual reality film for PBS Frontline, individually created a short documentary set in Ukraine, and animated and edited for the likes of Vice News Tonight. I believe that blurring the edges of your profession in this new world of journalism and filmmaking is the true future of generating and consuming thoughtful and interesting content. This is why I strive to achieve perfection in many innovative and emergent fields of journalism. I also endeavor to perform as a complete package; being proficient in everything from producing and shooting to editing, animation and design is something I take very seriously. I believe that doing so many different things that you no longer know what to call yourself is a good thing. I value creativity, beauty, simplicity, accuracy, care, and authenticity and I wish to educate and engage us to issues that otherwise would not have been considered in an artfully simplistic way. I primarily consider myself a cinematographer and producer, but can also serve as a video editor, animator, researcher, sound engineer, and composer.

Greetings. I am a filmmaker recently relocated to Brooklyn from Ventura, CA where I studied visual journalism at Brooks Institute. Though I enjoy creating short narratives and music videos, documentary is my passion. I get a great deal of satisfaction from exploring the world around me and by sharing the uncommon or overlooked aspects of humanity. I have worked on several short films involving the homeless, focusing on what it means to be human and a part of society. I have also began shooting for a doc feature about the serious pollution problems plaguing the air and the people of Salt Lake City, which was recently crowned the most polluted city in the world. I am also in preproduction for a documentary about the loss of culture through civilization in Mexico. Though the subjects and locations that I shoot vary greatly, I feel that each of these stories NEED to be communicated for the greater good of humanity. Whether for social change or historical purposes, we can share the world for what it is today. And I look forward to learning more about the local documentary/journalism scene in NYC. Cheers! Cole writer/director/producer at Gravity Free Productions
