Work Editorial has added editor Nia Imani to its roster. Imani is based in Los Angeles and represented by Work Editorial globally

A native of Orlando, Fla., Imani is a Grammy Award-winning editor well known for her work on Homecoming: A Film by Beyonce and Black Is King. Imani has created visual content for Beyonce and Jay-Z’s On The Run 2 Tour as well as for Olivia Rodrigo, Steve McQueen, Janicza Bravo, Chloe and Halle and H.E.R. Working across narrative, documentary and all experimental modes of filmmaking, Imani has collaborated with global brands such as Miu Miu, Patta, Sacai, Nike, Gucci and more.

Imani attended Florida State University College of Motion Picture Arts where she was drawn to the edit process and loved the fact that it was hard! Starting with friends projects at school there, she discovered that in the edit you make things come to life, making things ‘be’.

After graduating she sought out fellow alum, film editor Joi McMillion, award-winning editor of Moonlight. McMillion became not only an inspiration but a mentor and great supporter of Imani, introducing her to Beyonce’s company, Parkwood.

Most recently, Imani edited an episode for the second season of FX’s highly regarded show The Bear and was accepted into The Sundance Documentary Edit and Story Lab where she and her team will workshop an in-progress documentary feature film.

Working in all aspects of film editing from music promos, commercials to narrative long form has lent a whole new dimension to her work, “Editing is where it all comes together, finding different puzzles, there’s no ‘no,’ there’s just different.”

Work Editorial founding partner Jane Dilworth said, “Nia is an incredible talent; it’s been a joy to get to know her work and her. She has a wonderful and positive excitement about all aspects of editing which is not only inspiring but also makes me excited about the future for her and the industry!”

Imani also loves to continue to exercise her creative brain by sculpting and painting.
