— ABOUT ME
DESSIE FILIPOVA
EDITOR · FOUNDER, ZACK SPARKY STUDIO - LOS ANGELES
I've been editing professionally for over a decade, working across documentary, branded content, and narrative film from my base in Los Angeles. What's kept me in this work is the moment when an edit clicks and the story becomes exactly what it was meant to be. That's what I'm chasing on every project.
I founded Zack Sparky Studio because I wanted to work on my own terms — around craft and genuine client relationships rather than volume. I work with filmmakers who need a creative collaborator in the cutting room, and with brands and creators who understand that their content is a direct reflection of who they are.
Every project I take on is handled personally, held to the same standard, and given the time it deserves. That's not a promise — it's just how I work. More
Client Reviews
“From the very beginning, Dessie understood not just what I wanted my videos to look like, but how I wanted them to feel. She brought a level of clarity and intention I couldn’t quite find on my own. Her edits don’t just show the product; they create a mood. Everything feels more cohesive, more thoughtful, more like me. There’s a quiet confidence in the way she works. I always felt supported, understood, and taken seriously.”
