Hi! I'm Sarah Beim, founder of Vellichor Productions; now A Beim-ish Productions LLC.
I’m a freelance film editor who edits a wide variety of projects but specializes mostly in narrative.
In 2019, I graduated from The School of Visual Arts in Manhattan with a BFA in Film and a concentration in editing. I've been studying film since High School (graduated 2015) where I studied it on a professional level.
I've gotten to freelance on incredible projects by amazing clients. I've worked with award-winning filmmaker Desiree Abeyta for handful of times. Most recent was her short film "Beyond the Fog" starring actress Paige Davis and before that a short "Anne" that won a handful of awards during its festival run including a Silver Telly. It was also a 2023 Academy Awards “Best Live Action Short” qualifier – FYC.
My skills are very diverse and I have a meticulous eye for detail. Some examples are a keen eye with continuity, pacing. I’ve been trained in Adobe Premiere, After Effects and Photoshop. I am very dedicated and hardworking to every project given, big or small.
I have loved storytelling ever since I was little. Creating something from nothing is exciting and freeing. I have always been fascinated by dreams, sci-fi, and dystopian. These genres inspired me to create my own unique worlds. A lot of my works are inspired by real-world issues but with a twist, as a way to escape but still shed light on issues that need to be addressed.

Film (short)
by Film Nerd Challenges/George Carrillo
co-producer, co-editor In the not too distant future, two sisters are forced to confront a harsh reality of their sharply divided world, and forced to ask the question: who among them are the real animals?
This film was made in one weekend. They did their own version of the 48 hour film challenge. Thursday we picked a genre, prop, line of dialogue and character names out of a hat. Friday was pre-production and blocking/rehearsals. Saturday was filming. Sunday was editing. They got their first rough assembly by 11:59 PM that Sunday. The team will continue post production but their goal was to get first assembly done before midnight.
