Rita is the best!
Worked with URtwin Media
on multiple projects
(short films, music videos) and was so impressed each time.
Rita's ability to be more than an incredible editor and colorist, but also an amazing person makes the workflow fun and exciting, and the end result polished and high-level.
They're sensitive to nuanced storytelling, proficient at professional tools, and communicate informatively and conscientiously. Can't wait to work with URtwin Media again soon!

My experience working with URtwin Media has been genuinely collaborative, enjoyable, and professional. I have worked with them on over five consecutive projects, which speaks to the trust and consistency they bring. As an editor, Rita has a strong sense of timing, pace, and tone. As a colorist, their work adds depth and emotional clarity while staying true to the vision. What stands out most is Rita’s attention to detail and their clear, solutions-driven feedback, always problem solving and prioritizing the narrative. Their ability to lead both editing and colour with equal strength is truly impressive. I consider them among the best I’ve worked with and would highly recommend them.
