Editors trained in the Caracol and RCN telenovela factories, the DOCMA doc circuit, and Colombia's auteur feature roster
Here is how this works in practice. Colombian editing pulls from two distinct schools that meet in the post houses of Bogotá and Medellín: the daily-soap factories of Caracol and RCN. This have trained generations of editors in the high-velocity rhythm work that powers the Colombian telenovela export industry (Yo Soy Betty, la Fea, Pasión de Gavilanes, El Señor de los Cielos, Sin Senos Sí Hay Paraíso), and the auteur and documentary lineage that runs through José Bejarano (Litigante, Monos — the primary feature editor on much of the today's festival slate), Etienne Boussac (Birds of Passage, working with Ciro Guerra and Cristina Gallego at Ciudad Lunar), Soraya Gutiérrez (extra editing on Birds of Passage), and the DOCMA documentary-editor community that supplies the Colombian, Ibero-American, and global non-fiction circuit.
Our roster covers feature drama for Ciudad Lunar, Dynamo, 64-A Films, Rhayuela, and Sambia Films, prestige series for Netflix (Narcos, Wild District, Pálpito, Distrito Salvaje, Cien Años de Soledad), HBO Max, Disney+ Latin America, and Amazon, documentary work for DOCMA and the global TV networks circuit, and high-velocity commercial and trailer cutting for the regional and pan-Latin agency network.
Technically, our editors operate Avid Media Composer (the dominant feature and series standard, with Avid NEXIS shared-storage and ScriptSync workflows on the larger productions), DaVinci Resolve Studio (increasingly the standard for documentary, commercial, and round-tripped grade), and Adobe Premiere Pro for commercial, branded-content, and digital-first workflows.

How do you match an editor to my production?
We evaluate your project's genre, format, pacing style, and post-production timeline, then recommend editors whose portfolios and working style align with your needs. We also consider their familiarity with your preferred editing platform and workflow requirements.
At what stage should an editor get involved?
Editors are most effective when brought in during or shortly after principal photography, so they can begin assembling sequences while the shoot is still underway. On larger productions, having an editor cutting alongside filming allows the director to review assemblies and make informed decisions about coverage before wrap.
