Hand Cut Films Film/Video Editing and Post-production Services in Vancouver, BC

About

Hello, my name is Eliot Piltz, and Hand Cut Films is my company. In an age of digital editing, the name is a metaphor of my belief that most crafts are best done by hand: compare antique furniture or a potter's masterful collection with today's ubiquitous Made in China brands. Thereby my goal is to be creative, precise and deliberate with every cut, while maintaining a professional, knowledgable and time-sensitive approach throughout the course of each project.

I am a film editor, compositor and colourist, who has worked with many of Vancouver's top production companies, and am an expert in all areas of post-production, specializing in high-end broadcast television and film. I focus my profession primarily as an editor, because editing is my favorite part of the filmmaking process. This is a natural fit, because I am able to sit for long periods of time without food, sunlight or oxygen.

Originally from the States, I now happily live in Vancouver, BC. By living in many great cities and travelling extensively throughout Europe, the U.S., Mexico, and even a little in Africa, I have gained invaluable life experience, which contributes to my perspective as an editor, and of course as a human being. This awareness is key in relating to the many types of stories I face, and helps me better understand my audience by better understanding myself and my place in the world.

Though only a small portion of my credits make it to IMDb, I invite you to see my profile.
