Whether cutting a Surly Urchin original narrative or bringing your vision to the screen, we see the editing process as the crux of the cinematic process. We've edited feature-length projects, music videos, short films, and more. Notably Surly Urchin Studios conducted the post-production of narrative films "Happy New Year, Mr. Kates!" and "Hair of the Dog."
