An emerging post-production sector in Lima led by Makaco: connecting you with editors who shape raw footage into compelling stories.
A film editor assembles raw footage into a coherent, compelling narrative by selecting takes, shaping pacing, and structuring scenes. Peru's editing scene draws from a growing domestic film industry and the country's increasing visibility as an international filming destination, with editors in Lima developing expertise across feature films, advertising, and documentary content.
We connect you with Peru-based editors who bring both technical precision and narrative instinct to the post-production process. Our network spans facilities including Makaco, Maneki Studio, Gamma Post House, with professionals experienced in feature films, documentaries, commercials, and series working across all major editing platforms.

Editors continuing Peru's emerging post-production tradition from Lima
Here is how this works in practice. Peru's editing community works inside a growing custom shaped by Eric Williams's box-office-defining cuts on Asu Mare 1 and Asu Mare 2 — the Tondero Producciones features that still hold the Peruvian theatrical record — alongside Gianfranco Annichini's collaborations with Claudia Llosa on Milk of Sorrow and Madeinusa that earned the Berlinale Golden Bear, Sundance Special Jury Prize, and an Academy Award nomination.
Here is the short of it. Roberto Benavides, Manuel Eyzaguirre, Daniel Vega in the writer-director-editor mode the Vega brothers established on Octubre and El Mudo with their Cannes Un Certain Regard credits, Sandra Rodríguez Mondoñedo on documentary, and Frank Gutiérrez across advertising anchor the senior tier.
Here is the breakdown. Our editor roster sits in that lineage, with most based out of Lima post houses — Makaco top the VFX and finishing space with the broadest advertising and feature client list, Maneki Studio handling commercial and series work, Gamma Post House supporting documentary and independent features, and Cinesphere providing integrated production-and-post infrastructure with the country's only Dolby Vision DI room. Credits span theatrical features for Tondero, Big Bang Films, Inca Producciones, Cinesphere, and Maretazo Cine, documentary for Netflix and Disney+ Latin American originals, and high-volume advertising for the capital's agency community.
Here is what that looks like on the ground. Our matching process weighs genre, format, intended rhythm, and the post timeline, then narrows to editors whose recent credits and working style fit the brief — auteur features for Festival de Lima at PUCP and Festival al Este, Tondero box-office comedy, documentary work, or commercial campaigns for the capital's luxury and gastronomy agency clients.
Here is how the picture comes together. Editing sites cover Avid Media Composer, DaVinci Resolve, and Adobe Premiere Pro, with bilingual Spanish and English assistants on hand for global productions that need a cleanly translated bin and notes pass through to AMC handover and final delivery. Assemblies typically start during principal photography so directors can review and adjust coverage before wrap. Remote cuts are routine — PET timezone aligns with US Eastern Time for real-time review sessions with North and South American production teams in New York, Atlanta, Mexico City, Bogotá, and Buenos Aires.
Here is what we have to work with. Delivery covers Peruvian broadcast standards, DCP for theatrical exhibition, and the streaming sites specs that Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime Video, and HBO Max Latin American originals are finished against, with Ibermedia and bilateral co-production reporting structured for Argentina, Spain, and Brazil partners through to Festival de Lima, Festival al Este, and Premios Luces deliverables.

How do you match an editor to my production?
We evaluate your project's genre, format, pacing style, and post-production timeline, then recommend editors whose portfolios and working style align with your needs. We also consider their familiarity with your preferred editing platform and workflow requirements.
At what stage should an editor get involved?
Editors are most effective when brought in during or shortly after principal photography, so they can begin assembling sequences while the shoot is still underway. On larger productions, having an editor cutting alongside filming allows the director to review assemblies and make informed decisions about coverage before wrap.
