POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Some edits make you wish you were part of the action. 🌊

Editing Chris Hemsworth at Surf Abu Dhabi for Department of Culture and Tourism - Abu Dhabi was one of those projects.

From shaping the storyline and comedy to finding the perfect rhythm, the film captured Chris doing what he loves while bringing positive energy to his friends and family.

As a beach and water lover, I felt connected to every stage of the edit. The best part? After the first presentation and feedback rounds, the film stayed almost exactly the same.

The story and feeling were already there. 🏄‍♂️

We spent around four days de-rushing and selecting footage from three days of production, going through countless takes. Many of them were excellent, but that’s what made the process even more challenging. The hardest part wasn’t finding good shots—it was finding the ones that carried the right emotion and could sustain the feeling throughout a 112-second film.

One of the most rewarding parts of this project was sitting alongside director @gonzalo_olivero_alcobe , experimenting with different shot combinations, challenging our instincts, and constantly reshaping the story based on what we felt rather than what simply looked good.

I’m grateful to have been trusted as the Film Editor on a project that demanded so much sensitivity, collaboration, and emotion. A memorable experience.

A statement for “Out of Combat,” a short film that reflects my unwavering commitment to my true identity as a Palestinian filmmaker and the ongoing situation in Palestine.
May every Palestinian soul rest in peace.
