Ciao a tutti! I'm Stefan Balugani, a film editor from Modena, Italy, and I'm really excited to be part of this community. Editing is my greatest passion—it's where I feel most alive and most connected to storytelling. I'm a very sensitive person, and I try to channel every emotion into the way I shape a scene, always aiming to bring out the soul of the story through rhythm, pacing, and detail. Whether it's an intense sequence or a quiet moment, I love the challenge of finding just the right cut to make it resonate. Outside of the editing room, I enjoy exploring the streets of Modena or relaxing with a cappuccino at a local café, always observing and getting inspired. Looking forward to connecting with you all, sharing ideas, and growing together!✨
