Hello, everyone! My name is David Arias and I'm a Puerto Rican video editor living and freelancing in Atlanta, GA. I've graduated from the Art Institute of Atlanta back in 2018 where I've earned a bachelor's degree in digital film and video production. I also became a certified Avid Media Composer User while attending Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD Atlanta) in 2020.      In under 5 years, I've colored and video edited several short films that went on to win awards in film festivals across the globe. My editing work on the short film, “Conflict”, for Chozen Productions won me “Best Editing” at the Sweet Democracy Film Awards in April 2022 as well as sharing the “Silver Telly” award with the rest of the production crew in the same year. Currently, I'm finishing my editing work for the indie feature film called "The Colonizer" for Chozen Productions where it will be distributes and released late 2023 or early 2024.
