Name: Mariana Kozáková

I graduated from FAMU in 2019, before that I got a scholarship to study for one semester at the California Institut of Arts.


I love working with picture and sound in their complexity and today’s editing software is a great tool for that. Editing is really an arts and craft thing, no matter if I work on a project in AVID, Premiere Pro, Davinci Resolve, or FCPX – no matter if I work on a short commercial, music video, or a feature-length documentary – I know I have to grab the viewer’s attention and create a world that he or she is able to connect with. That means emotion, storytelling, rhythm, and the unique marriage of picture and sound that is so specific to the art of film.
As an editor, I work mainly on documentaries and TV documentaries and shows, movie trailers, and commercials. I worked on several international projects as an assistant/assembly editor and honestly it was nice to be a part of an editorial team, for being an only editor could often feel a bit lonely. I think that editing is in part scriptwriting, especially in the current documentary production process, so for many years, I have been an editing consultant for East Doc Platform.
