Work Editorial Adds Nia Imani to Its Roster
Work Editorial is excited to announce the addition of Nia Imani to its roster. Nia is based in Los Angeles and represented by Work Editorial globally.
Nia a native of Orlando, Florida, is a Grammy award winning editor well known for her work on ‘Homecoming: A Film by Beyonce’ and ‘Black Is King’. She has created visual content for Beyonce and Jay-Z’s On The Run 2 Tour as well as for Olivia Rodrigo, Steve McQueen, Janicza Bravo, Chloe and Halle and H.E.R. Working across narrative, documentary and all experimental modes of filmmaking, collaborating with global brands such as Miu Miu, Patta, Sacai, Nike, Gucci and more.
She attended Florida State University College of Motion Picture Arts and whilst Nia was there she was drawn to the edit process and loved the fact that it was hard! Starting with friends' projects at school there, she discovered that in the edit you make things come to life, making things ‘be’.
After graduating she sought out fellow alumni film editor Joi McMillion, award winning editor of Moonlight. She became not only an inspiration but a mentor and great supporter of Nia, introducing her to Beyonce’s company, Parkwood.
Most recently, she edited an episode for the second season of FX’s highly regarded show ‘The Bear’ and was accepted into The Sundance Documentary Edit and Story Lab where she and her team will workshop an in-progress documentary feature film.
Working in all aspects of film editing from music promos, commercials to narrative long form has given her a whole new dimension to her work, “Editing is where it all comes together, finding different puzzles, there’s no ‘no’, there’s just different.”
Work is so thrilled to have Nia joining Work, Founding partner Jane Dilworth, ‘Nia is an incredible talent, it’s been a joy to get to know her work and her. She has a wonderful and positive excitement about all aspects of editing which is not only inspiring but also makes me excited about the future for her and the industry!”
She also loves to continue to exercise her creative brain by sculpting and painting.
