DANIEL LAPIRA FILM EDITOR
Daniel is a London based editor who enjoys crafting stories which have their own distinct language and form, whilst collaborating closely with the filmmaking team. His work is versatile, spanning documentaries, features, shorts and TV drama in various genres and styles. He began his career as an assistant editor in the cutting rooms of the various studio and independent film productions which filmed in his home island of Malta; including Steven Spielberg’s ‘Munich’ and Kevin Reynolds’s ‘Risen’. After editing a number of short films, amongst them ‘Dual’ (official selection 55th BFI London Film Festival), he landed his first feature as editor on the multi-award winning ‘Simshar’, which was also Malta’s first ever submission for Best Foreign Language Film at the Academy Awards.
Grateful to the generous and talented established editors and directors he collaborated with over the years, who influenced the editor he is today, he looks forward to all the exciting stories the future has in store.
