Daniel Lapira

Daniel's editing work spans documentaries, features, shorts and TV drama in various genres and styles. He began his career as an assistant editor in the cutting rooms of productions which were filmed in his home island of Malta; including Steven Spielberg's 'Munich' and Kevin Reynolds's 'Risen'. After editing a number of short films, among them 'Dual' (official selection 55th BFI London Film Festival), he landed his first feature as editor on the multi-award winning 'Simshar'. He has since co-edited the feature documentary 'The Princess' (Sky Studios & HBO; Best editing nomination at IDA Awards & Official Selection Sundance 2022) with Academy Award winning editor Jinx Godfrey. Grateful to the generous and talented established editors and directors he collaborated with over the years, who influenced the editor he is today, he looks forward to all the exciting stories the future has in store.
