Leta Lenik
Assistant Editor
Suffern, NY *****
********@*****.***
I have worked in all aspects of production, both in front of and behind the camera and post production. I have been editing since 2000.
I have also worked in fashion, coordinating and writing fashion shows for Joanne Brooks Productions and the Creative Impact Group in Chicago.
Whether I am working as an editor, director, producer or associate producer, I pitch in wherever there is a need.
You can see my work at betterworldpro.com. That is a small production company I have with my husband. I have opted to work outside of the company. The most important thing to me is that the project's outcome reflects the client's vision, and doing it with a smile and positive attitude.
