2026 Girls Night Out
Short Film Festival

I'm Jalen Williams, a film editor and visual effects artist based in Florida. My journey into post-production began when I started shooting and editing my own videos. What began as a creative outlet quickly grew into a passion for creating content.

While earning my bachelor's degree in Information Technology from Florida A&M University, I developed my skills in Premiere Pro and began taking on music video projects. As I worked on more videos, I became fascinated by the visual effects featured in Cole Bennett's Lyrical Lemonade productions, which inspired me to teach myself Adobe After Effects.

 In the Fall of 2023, I attended Florida State University College of Motion Picture Arts, where I earned my MFA in Post Production. It was there that I discovered the depth of narrative filmmaking and the role editing plays in shaping character, emotion, and story. What I once viewed primarily as a technical craft became a powerful storytelling tool, and I found myself drawn to the creative process of building a narrative in the edit room.

Today, I work across editing and visual effects, combining technical precision with a passion for storytelling. Whether I'm crafting a narrative scene, creating a visual effect, or collaborating with filmmakers to bring their vision to life, I am always excited by the opportunity to create work that connects with audiences.
