Hi, I'm Isai — a film editor based in Lucerne, Switzerland.
Since 2016, I've been cutting feature films, documentaries, TV reports and trailers. In 2021, I graduated from the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts with a bachelor's degree in film editing and have since focused my work on documentaries.
Whether you need fast cuts or slow burns, exploding heads or dadaist poetry, for the big screen or phone screens – I'd love to collaborate with you on your next project.
