Story / Cut / Rhythm

Different formats.
Same instinct
for a story.

Original visual from the filmmaker site.

I'm Gilad. I direct films, edit television, make social video and play music. What connects them is people: what catches their attention, what changes the mood, and what makes a moment stay with them.

Sometimes the story needs another shot. Sometimes it needs a cut. Sometimes it needs the right track.

The thread between it all

I'm an Israeli filmmaker and editor based in Cyprus. I studied directing and editing at the Sam Spiegel Film & Television School in Jerusalem, 2006-2010.

My work moves between short films, television, documentary, social video and music. I directed and co-wrote Paper Cuts (עמוד 68), edited the second season of Kings for Keshet, and co-directed and edited the independent film Ten Grand Even.

I have also worked on Israeli drama, comedy, reality and documentary productions. Today I make social content in Cyprus, including work for BERKOS, and perform as DJ GiliBeats.

For me, editing is more than putting shots in order. It is finding the rhythm, noticing what people reveal, and deciding what the audience needs to feel next.

That thinking stays with me whether I'm shaping a scene, a short video or a dance floor.

Shorter stories. Real people.

A different kind of rhythm.
