Angel Morris

EDITOR / FILMMAKER

Angel is a nonbinary editor and filmmaker based in San Diego, California. They began their editing journey as a kid, stitching together Disney films to make music videos and creating little skits with their friends. They developed a love for telling stories through visuals that snowballed into what would eventually become their passion.

Originally creating content for marketing, Angel worked both freelance and agency positions to produce for retail, nonprofit, and more. Eventually, Angel transitioned into cutting for natural history and wildlife, returning to a dream they’ve had since they were young.

​After spending almost ten years editing for advertisements and commercials, Angel decided to chase their passion to cut for documentaries. They aim to work on films that make an impact in wildlife conservation and beyond. Although Angel’s skill set spans many areas of film production, editing is what brings them the most joy, as it’s where all the pieces of the puzzle are brought together to make the story.

Angel’s had the opportunity to work on projects for companies like Warner Brothers, The West Valley Symphony, House of Somos Surf Resort, and more. In August of 2021, they were accepted into the Jackson Wild Summit Fellowship. Soon after, they were invited onto the Think Lemonade team.

One of Angel’s goals is to diversify the community of documentary filmmakers. As someone who is a part of the LGBTQ+ community and identifies as nonbinary, it is rare for them to see people who look like them in the industry. They hope to eventually inspire others who are like them to chase after their aspirations so that more stories can be heard, and more work can be done to take care of our planet and those on it.
