Freddie DeLaVega
Film Editor . Los Angeles, CA
Growing up in southern California, I've always felt at home in and around the entertainment industry. After graduating from San Francisco State University with a BA in Decision Science, I came back to LA and began my post production journey as a humble post p.a. at the acclaimed post house, Rock Paper Scissors.
Since then, I've worked as a senior staff editor as well as freelance on a variety of projects, most recently cutting the Emmy Award Winning Series DROPPING THE SOAP, starring Jane Lynch and Paul Witten. In 2016, I started the boutique post production company, NEAT EDIT, located in Santa Monica, CA, with my wife and EP, Courtney DeLaVega. Through that, we have been lucky enough to work with some amazing clients ranging from Peroni and Diesel, to production companies Anonymous Content and LeBron James' UNINTERRUPTED.
I believe the most valuable skill that I've picked up over the years is the ability to remain calm and creative throughout any situation, and always focused on helping my clients achieve their vision. In my spare time I enjoy amateur furniture making and drag racing with my family on the weekends. I would also like to one day retire on a farm, preferably one with a bourbon distillery.
