Women-owned bicoastal edit house The Den has added Cami Starkman to its roster of editors. A native of Los Angeles, Starkman’s work is vivid and versatile, spanning commercials, documentaries, music videos, feature films, and numerous shorts.
A graduate of AFI’s MFA film editing program, Starkman has edited a Los Angeles Area Emmy Award-winning documentary, Tending The Wild, as well as an L.A. Area Emmy-nominated spot for KCET’s Artbound series episode “MOCA–Beyond The Museum Walls.” In addition to editing three feature films, and numerous shorts, she has cut music videos for Katy Perry, Solange, Eminem, Nick Jonas, Mariah Carey, Jennifer Lopez, and many more.
Starkman frequently works with directors such as Philippa Price, Christine Yuan, and recently collaborated with director Melina Matsoukas on a trailer for Queen & Slim. Recent work for clients includes Savage x Fenty with Rihanna, HBO, Valentino, Balmain, Olay, Lyft, Alaska Airlines, Vogue and Stella McCartney.
Vic Palumbo, managing director of The Den, said, “Cami’s edits have a refined quality to them. Whether it be on a large commercial brand’s ad campaign or a high concept music video, her cuts are always elegant, provocative, and motivated by story. She has an amazing eye.”
Starkman added, “I’ve been editing since I was making videos as alternatives to class projects. There, I truly fell in love with the art of film and video. Working in post feels empowering and ultra-creative as I’m one of the last hands in a team of artists to touch a project before it becomes final.”
Starkman, who was previously repped by Sunset Edit, joins The Den’s roster of talent, which also includes Tobias Suhm, Katie Cali, Michael “Middy” Ofori-Attah, Matthew Hilber, Christjan Jordan, Nate Cali, Val Thrasher, Pieter Viljoen and Tania Mesta.
