Editors in the Adam Gough (Cuarón regular), Stephen Mirrione (Iñárritu regular), and Bernat Vilaplana (del Toro regular) lineage cutting through Lemon Studios CDMX and Estudios Churubusco post-production suites
Here is how this works in practice. Mexican editing operates at Oscar-tier depth. Adam Gough is Alfonso Cuarón's regular collaborator (Roma 2018, Children of Men). Stephen Mirrione is Iñárritu's longtime editor (Birdman 2014 Best Picture Oscar — the single-take illusion editing — plus 21 Grams, Babel). Bernat Vilaplana is Guillermo del Toro's regular (Pan's Labyrinth — 3 Oscars, Crimson Peak). Cuarón famously edits much of his own work under the pseudonym Mary Ann Bernard. The Mexican documentary editing bench is as well deep: Tatiana Huezo (The Echo, Tempestad), Everardo González, Juan Carlos Rulfo (En el Hoyo), Eugenio Polgovsky, and Maya Goded. Edit finishing routes through Lemon Studios CDMX (Bardo), Estudios Churubusco post facilities (the 1945 state anchor), Brainstorm Multimedia, and Argos Comunicación series suites.
Here is what we have to work with. Our editors work Avid Media Composer, Adobe Premiere, DaVinci Resolve, and Final Cut Pro pipelines in CDMX with shared-storage SAN networks delivering Netflix, HBO Max, Disney+, and Amazon Prime Video specs. EFICINE 189 post-prod tax rebates anchor domestic finishing. Plus the USMCA framework supports Tijuana-LA same-day DCP and offline shuttle through the 12-minute border to Hollywood Post Alliance facilities. The Mexican neutral-Spanish dubbing pipeline (Sensaciones Sónicas, New Art Dub, Audiomaster 3000, SDI Media, Iyuno, Dubbing House) drives the largest LatAm post-localization market worldwide. STIC, STPC, ANDA voice-talent unions, IMSS workers' comp, 16% IVA, and ISR income tax govern contracts. Festival cuts deliver to FICM Morelia, FICG Guadalajara, Los Cabos Global, and AMACC Ariel Awards. Plus Cannes, Venice, Berlinale, TIFF, and Sundance global circuits.

What delivery formats do your editors support?

How do you match an editor to my production?
Here is what that looks like on the ground. We review your project's genre, format, pacing style, and post-prod timeline, then recommend editors whose portfolios and working style align with your needs. We also consider their familiarity with your preferred editing platform and workflow needs.
At what stage should an editor get involved?
Here is how the picture comes together. Editors are most effective when brought in during or shortly after principal photography, so they can start assembling sequences while the shoot is still underway. On larger shoots, having an editor cutting alongside filming allows the director to review assemblies and make informed decisions about coverage before wrap.
