- ABOUT
Hello, I'm Becca.
A picture editor with a deep passion for uncovering the hidden moments within the weeds of a story.
- 01 — STORYTELLING
Story lives in the small things.
I believe the best moments in a film are the ones that almost weren’t there — a half-smile, a held breath, a beat of stillness before someone speaks.
My work is about protecting those moments. I spend a lot of time with footage before I start cutting, listening for the rhythm of what’s actually being said, even when nobody is saying anything at all.
- 02 — COLLABORATION
A quiet, attentive partner.
I love directors and producers who treat the edit as part of the writing — who come in with curiosity, not just a checklist.
I show up early, ask a lot of questions, and try to make the room feel safe enough that the bravest cuts are the ones we actually try.
- 03 — INSPIRATION
What keeps me looking.
Long walks. Documentary photography. Watching people wait for the train. Anything by Lynne Ramsay or Joanna Hogg. The way light moves across an apartment wall in the late afternoon.
Inspiration, for me, is mostly the practice of slowing down enough to notice.
