Sari Connolly, Editor / Producer

Sari grew up in Brooklyn, New York, moved to Fort Lauderdale, Florida during High School and then headed west to Tucson, Arizona where she attended the University of Arizona. After graduating with a BA Cum Laude for Film and Television production in 1983 Sari moved to Las Vegas and started 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. She then decided to become an editor and has spent the past 10 years editing on the AVID and most recently Final Cut Pro. In the process she has won several EMA and ADDY awards.

Sari's background as a producer gives her the added edge of being able to spearhead entire projects or to assist clients throughout the creative 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’s other passions are spending time with her four children and teaching fitness classes in the early morning hours before work.
