Phila Demi is a filmmaker, cinematographer, and film editor working across documentary, branded content, and cultural storytelling.
Her work explores art, culture, and human experience through visually distinctive, character-driven films. With a foundation in editing and mixed-media storytelling, she brings a strong narrative sensibility to every stage of the process — from concept and production to the final cut.
Phila began her career in post-production in 2018 in NYC, working with New York-based editing houses Arcade Edit and Uppercut Edit and contributing to projects for The New York Times, CR Fashion Book, and Document Journal. Her career has moved between editorial craft and international brand storytelling. She joined S EC Studio’s editor roster in 2021, later bringing her experience in-house as TESLA’s first Content Producer for EMEA. In 2025, her path continued to Stockholm, where she worked across editorial and branded content for BYREDO.
Alongside commercial productions, she develops independent documentary films and creative collaborations with artists, galleries, and cultural institutions. Her approach is shaped by close observation, visual research, and an appreciation for the tactile qualities of analog image-making.
Having lived and worked across New York, Berlin, Stockholm, and Amsterdam, she brings an international perspective to directing, production, and visual storytelling.
Available for collaborations worldwide. Currently located in Düsseldorf, Germany.
