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 work has been featured in publications such as Rolling Stone, Indiewire, 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.

I’ve worked as a documentary editor, taking non-narrative footage and creating a story arc in post. Below is a project in which I served as editor on.

music EDITING

Working as a creative director means I’ll sometimes take on multiple roles! Below is a series of spots that I did the music edits on.
