this is a portfolio site for Sam Lastres

I am a video editor originally from Florida. I approach editing as a form of writing, as I believe it’s the art of storytelling above all else. I rely heavily on my background as a Literature major in my construction of digital narratives. I am always looking for stories in the everyday.

Tokyo was my home for 4 years, where I held many roles including teacher, student, nanny, videographer, and editor.

I am now in Los Angeles working as a post prodction coordinator.

While not working or editing, I enjoy reading, hiking, roadtripping, and writing various reviews online. 

Thank you for visiting my website, I hope we will talk soon. 

Love, 
Sam
