Gem Polotan · Editor · Philippines
About
I'm Gem Polotan. Based in the Philippines, I specialize in crafting short documentaries and wedding films that feel honest, cinematic, and true to life.
Using a story-first mindset and precise multi-cam editing, I turn raw footage into narratives told with deep intention and careful craft.
From local celebrations to worldwide destination shoots and deep-dive documentaries, I'm ready to help you tell a story worth remembering.
"Angelica did great work for me on a testimonial video for a university. She delivered ahead of schedule which I really appreciated. Would definitely recommend."
"Working with Gem was amazing! The part that I appreciated most was her communication skills. She was always very timely and clear, which made working together feel natural, easy, and effective. One of Gem's strengths is the ability to narrow down footage to convey a specific message — not everyone has mastered that skill. The final video was above and beyond!"
"Gem is a GEM! She is truly one of the best video editors I have ever hired — super talented and creative, very responsive and easy to talk to. She matches my vision for each video perfectly, color corrects, adds copyright-free music, and has a quick turnaround. I highly recommend hiring Gem. You will not regret it!"
"Angelica was a pleasure to work with — clear deliverables, quick turnaround, and very professional. Even though I didn't have a lot of high-quality content to start with, she created a beautiful keepsake video by skillfully blending different media types. Highly recommend her for anyone looking for video editing!"
"Gem is an extremely talented video editor and very good at capturing your vision through video. Will definitely work with her again!"
"Angelica is reliable and works very efficiently. I found her through her great reviews and chose her because she understands my local language, which was important for the video edits I needed. She always acknowledges my messages and makes me feel understood. She incorporates my wishes while adding her own creative touch, and her communication is clear and professional throughout. Highly recommended. Thank you very much Angelica!"
