The last few months have been an absolute DREAM come true. Not only have I been able to work on one of my favorite shows of all time, but I get to do it while being on one of the best teams in the business!

Thank you to my editor @francescacuts for bringing me on board this journey. I’ve learned so much from watching you work, and I’m so excited for the world to see all the work you’ve done!

Our OG editors @mellymccoy & @ajcatoline and our Post Producer Leah Pablo, for keeping our team motivated, excited and happy to work together every single day.

And the most special thanks to my ❤️ @areengharibian for supporting me, and holding down the fort while I’m working away. I guess it also helps that I get to work on a show that she loves and got me into! 😎 by @avojohn

ChikaBOOM! 💨⚡️ is coming soon!

Starring @yarashahidi @daveeddiggs & @nlyonne

About a year ago I ran into my good friends @c.craig___ and @alyssakatalyna - little did I know we’d be on this journey that’s led to me editing my first ever animated short film, Chikaboom.

Made some more friends along the way @kacielehner @kathrynboydbat @asteriafilmco @benjamichel_ @trailblazerstudios @benjaminlock @sandisoverated @therealruthecarter and the rest is history!

Can’t wait for the world to experience this film and the world @c.craig___ and the team have built. taken in Manhattan, New York by @avojohn

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! by @avojohn
