Hi, I'm Isai. I'm a film editor based in Lucerne, Switzerland.
Since 2016 I've been working on numerous projects ranging from experimental short films, documentaries and music videos to TV reports and feature films. In 2021, I graduated from the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts with a bachelor's degree in film editing. Since then, my focus has been on editing feature-length documentaries.
Whether you're looking for fast or slow cuts, exploding heads or dadaist poetry, for the big or small screen, I'd love to work with you on your next project.
