Phila Demi is a Senior Editor and documentary-rooted Filmmaker. Her work is defined by a global perspective, having lived and worked across New York City, Stockholm, Berlin, and Amsterdam.
Her technical foundation was established in New York at Arcade Edit and Uppercut Edit, focusing on the structural discipline of high-end post-production. She later established a freelance career in the city, with collaborations including The New York Times, CR Fashion Book, and Document Journal.
Her editorial style is rooted in a rhythmic sensibility and a focus on visual choreography. Known for sensible cuts and a refined eye for fashion aesthetics, she specializes in building dream-like atmospheres through precise pacing and a documentary-led approach to human performance.
Following her time in NYC, she was represented by SEC Studio in Berlin, editing commercials and music videos, including work for Helene Fischer (19M+ views).
She later held leading in-house roles for global brands:
Tesla (Amsterdam): Served as the first In-house Video Producer for EMEA, filming and editing across the region.
BYREDO (Stockholm): Served as the sole In-house Motion Video lead, covering Paris Fashion Week and managing internal video assets and workflows.
📍Germany/Netherlands. Remote work is possible.
