Lael Rogers // Editor

I am a multidisciplinary filmmaker with proficiencies in writing, directing, and editing. I’m a Film Independent fellow, have received a Vimeo Staff Pick, and my films have been featured in publications such as Rolling Stone, Yahoo, and The Seattle Times. My commercial work has won several awards including an Emmy™.

Blending a background of experience both in the commercial and independent film space, I specialize in narrative-forward, live action work.

Additionally, my practical SFX design work is featured in the short film Dream Creep, which premiered at Sundance and played SXSW. I currently teach film at Cornish College of the Arts.
