RACHEL NAPOLIELLO Storyteller. Filmmaker. Editor.

PORTFOLIO

I have extensive experience in directing and video editing, including color grading, motion graphics, and audio editing. In every project, I take a collaborative approach to my work, focusing on maintaining an environment where the entire team can execute their collective vision. As an editor, I have experience in working for corporate settings, creative settings, and everything-in between. No matter the project, I maintain focus on both the bigger picture, the story, and the tiny details that make a good story become a great one.

Over the past few years, I have developed my artistic vision as a filmmaker myself. My films have been described as quiet, but with a powerful voice. I seek to tell stories that illustrate a snapshot of reality whether through fiction or nonfiction.
