SAKI BERGH   |   FILM EDITOR   |   NYC


I’ve been editing high-end commercials for over 20 years in South Africa and am now based in New York.


Throughout my career, I’ve worked on major local and international brands including Puma, LG, Volkswagen, Uber, Cadbury, Uniqlo, Jameson, Sony, Granola, Toyota, Lexus, Barclays Bank, KFC, and McDonald’s. From 2005 to 2022, my work earned 116 awards at the Loeries Advertising Awards in South Africa. I've also had the honor of judging at leading industry festivals such as D&AD in London, the AICP Awards in New York, and the Ciclope Awards in Berlin.


What drives me as an editor is my deep love for storytelling. Every genre holds its own rhythm, voice, and emotional core — and I’m passionate about discovering and shaping that in every frame.
