American Film Institute | Editing Fellow
I am Siddharth.

Siddharth Lal is a filmmaker and editor with a passion for telling authentic stories. His goal has always been and will always be to contribute as much as possible in creating impactful cinema that has the potential to change people's lives.
He has 4 years of hands-on experience in Post Production and various aspects of film production, and is polished in various Post Workflows, linear and non-linear editing, sound design and mixing.
His interest in making films started with him creating short films for his YouTube channel. Having been completely self-taught, his passion for storytelling grew rapidly and he got into the #1 Ranked Film School - American Film Institute Conservatory by submitting one of his YouTube films Resurgence.mp4, and became one of the youngest fellows to be enrolled in the school.
He is currently pursuing his MFA Degree in Editing. From an office comedy to horror, his range of work spans across a diverse set of genres. He recently became the first AFI Editing fellow whose script got selected for official Thesis Production.
