Sarah Trudelle is an award-winning film and video editor currently based in Montreal, QC.
She is best known for her work on Crave/Tribeca Films’ WILD GOAT SURF , for which she won Best Picture Editing in a Motion Picture at the 2024 Leo Awards. The film also won the Special Jury Prize for Best Narrative Feature at the Oscar-qualifying deadCenter Film Festival.
Her other work includes digital series such as 20th Digital/Freeform’s Bite Size Holiday (THE UGLIEST OF THEM ALL), which garnered more than 2 million views on Freeform’s social media. She has edited various short films, such as DINNER FOR THREE (Fantasia International Film Festival 2019, Just for Laughs 2019), and I WANT TO BE LIKE YOU (HollyShorts 2020, Fantasia International Film Festival 2021) which was a Golden Egg nominee for Best Short Film at the Reykjavik International Film Festival 2021, as well as music videos for artists like STORRY (runner up for The Voice UK 2024).
Sarah is a member of AQTIS 514 IATSE, Canada Cinema Editors and the Academy of Canadian Cinema & Television. In addition to editing, she has 8 years of experience in the VFX industry, credited in films such as Tim Burton’s Dumbo and most recently Mufasa: The Lion King (2024).
Sarah’s obsession with storytelling began in the 5th grade when she used iMovie for the first time to edit a short film on the school’s old iMac. After completing a Bachelor’s Degree in Communication Studies, Specialization in Film at Concordia University and the experience of editing 16mm on a Steenbeck Machine, her love for editing was solidified. More than anything, she loves the challenge of the puzzle, the infinite decisions and possibilities behind each cut, and the joy of creative collaboration and bringing the director’s vision to life.
