Adam Moffat | Film and Television Editor

“The film is made in the editing room. The shooting of the film is about shopping… And then you take those ingredients and you can make a good cake — or not.”
The late Philip Seymour Hoffman

My name is Adam Moffat, and I’ve been an editor for over 25 years.

Before I found editing, I wanted to be a chef. I even planned to move to France after high school. That never happened, but the mindset stuck: understand your ingredients, work with what you have, and create something that connects and entertains your audience.

Over the years, I’ve cut Emmy nominated documentaries, more than 250 episodes of unscripted television, branded content, commercials, and a narrative feature called SYNC.

Most recently, I spent a year at Apple working in immersive filmmaking, cutting 180 degree VR content for Apple Vision Pro across NBA, MLB, and R&D projects.

Whether it’s 2D or immersive, scripted or documentary, every experience has taught me something. Over the years, I’ve learned what works, what doesn’t, and how to pull from all of it to help craft the story in front of me.

Working across so many different formats has also taught me how to adapt, whether that means working with limited takes, solving problems in the edit, or delivering under tight timelines. Much like working in a kitchen, you learn to trust your instincts, understand your ingredients, and make the most of what’s in front of you.

So let’s fire up the burners and make something great.
