My name is Yeshim Kayim-Yanko and I am a film editor, filmmaker, photographer and creative based in New York City.
I completed my B.F.A at Ithaca College in 2021, majoring in film, photography, and visual arts. I am a freelance editor with experience in documentary and narrative filmmaking, commerical editing, and motion graphics. I am also the Marketing and Events Coordinator at Books Are Magic, an independent bookstore based in Brooklyn, NY. I am currently working on my first documentary feature film (Untitled Kentucky Project), as well as developing my directorial debut, a documentary focusing on my family origins in Cyprus. I am Avid Media Composer certified, and have 5+ years experience with Premiere Pro, After Effects and other Adobe Creative Suite applications. My previous work screened at a number of festivals, including the award-winning short documentary Conversations Between Shifts. Additionally, I frequently screen for film festivals. I have reviewed submissions on the screening committees of DOC NYC, Woodstock Film Festival, The Chicago Underground Film Festival, and the Video Art and Experiemental Film Festival, and have a strong interest in film programming.
Feel free to send me an email, I’d love to chat and collaborate!
