Sari Connolly, Editor / Producer

Sari grew up in Brooklyn, New York, moved during high school to Fort Lauderdale, Florida and then headed west to Tucson, Arizona where she attended the University of Arizona.  After graduating with a BA Cum Laude in Film and Television production, Sari moved to Las Vegas where she began her career as a producer at an advertising agency.  Over the next 15 years she wrote, directed and produced hundreds of commercials, corporate videos and television shows, receiving many ADDY and EMA awards in the process.  To further her creative spirit, she learned editing on the AVID and has spent the past 13 years honing her skills on the AVID and FINAL CUT.  Most recently she has been refining her After Effects skills.

With her background as a producer Sari can handle a job from concept to completion and enjoys assisting clients through the entire production process.  “I want my clients to leave with a product they can be proud of.  I love what I do and I can’t think of a better way to earn a living.  I joined Laguna Productions because of their high-caliber productions and the family-style atmosphere.”

Besides editing, Sari is always on the go, from 5am fitness classes to nighttime hikes, rollerblading, tennis and jogging… you name it and she’ll try it.
