About

My name is Stephen Lehman. I'm an independent film editor, DIT, and data wrangler based in Sarasota, Florida.

With nearly twenty years of experience, I understand the stressors of independent film productions. Getting to editorial can be a battle whether it's a feature, documentary, or even a commercial. In most cases, you're the one doing the writing, casting, financing and every other job you can think of to get the project off the ground.

By offering DIT and data wrangling, as well as being my own assistant, I'm able to streamline the post-pipeline from the moment cameras start rolling and allows me to start editing on set. This allows you to see rough cuts of scenes as you shoot.

Every editor wants to tell compelling stories, and that's definitely true for me too. There's nothing better than making something that has an impact on an audience. However, my main goal is to help you achieve your creative vision and to make post-production a place where directors and producers can take a well-deserved breath after the marathon of prep and production as we find the completed film together.  

Outside of the edit bay, I love spending time with my wife and two-year old daughter. If the day is just right, you'll find us out on Sarasota Bay on our Hobie Cat.

I tell stories using the following tools:

Premiere Pro | Final Cut Pro | DaVinci Resolve
