“Miguel and Alana are very gifted editors, two I would like to hire onto all of my projects! They interpret stories with such ease, often delving deeper into it than even the producer imagined. They’re incredible storytellers, and quite gifted with using an Avid. Their use of effects is always excellent and spot on, and Miguel’s knowledge of the Avid and it's software is right on target. On the show I hired them to work on, they came in during the middle of a project and immediately delved into it, and though it was a particularly styled show, they adapted to that style at first edit. I highly recommend Miguel and Alana for anything and I'd be very happy to work with them again!”

“Having Miguel and Alana edit our movie "A Simple Promise" was one of the best decisions we ever made.  They are very professional and incredibly talented at getting to the essence of a film. Their passion for film and editing is obvious and it comes through in the work they do. They met every deadline we had and added a creative vision that made our work even better. I can't imagine having anyone else edit my projects other than Knives and Spoons.”

“Working with Miguel and Alana was a great experience. The two make a great team and complete each other seamlessly. No matter what the challenge Miguel and Alana were always up to it and delivered on all occasions. We went through all elements of story telling: music, documentary, interviews, promos, narration and all that to create 21 hour long episodes. Professionally they were a great asset as well as they were a joy to work with. Always approachable, ready to explore new ideas and happy to do so. A great team that I will hopefully have the opportunity to work with again very soon."”
