Helping Documentary and indie filmmakers bring visions to screens

Gasper DSouza - Film Editor / Writer

A bit about me

A rolling stone. That could sum up my career projectile. I’ve tried to not gather moss, (or cobwebs) and have been out learning new tricks, seeking new adventure, and moving boundaries.

At the core, I’ve always loved storytelling – first writing for the school magazine. At the turn of the millennium, I joined an English daily to head the web edition. During this 7-year newspaper stint, I coded the website, redesigned the print edition, wrote features for the Sunday edition and produced photo-documentaries for print and web editions.

Then in 2007, at the start of the DSLR revolution, I felt compelled to test the waters in video. Soon I was travelling across India producing video features for France-based Euronews Television.

Working with other film-makers as editor, I realised I loved finding connections, and helping bring stories to life. In the dark confines of the edit suite, I found new adventures pursing through hours of rushes, building sequences. So I turned my attention to documentary film editing.

Today I’ve set up a boutique post-production studio in my home town where I love to help other documentary and independent filmmakers with editing, and colour grading.
