Story-Driven Filmmaker
Hi, I’m Sage Christian Drake, a dedicated Film Editor and Director with a passion for storytelling that resonates. My journey into the world of cinema began at the College of San Mateo, where I had the distinct honor of studying under the guidance of Academy Award nominee Jay Rosenblatt. This foundation instilled in me a deep appreciation for the technical precision and emotional depth required to create impactful films.
I have successfully edited and directed thirty short films and two full-length documentary features. My work focuses on capturing authentic human experiences, blending cinematic aesthetics with compelling narratives. Whether it’s through the rhythm of an edit or the direction of a scene, my goal is always to bring a unique and professional vision to every project.
