Alisa Kudria
Producer / Filmmaker / Editor
Alisa holds the guests, the timeline and the stills, so the film can stay quiet.
How she works
She runs the day so Sam can listen. Logistics, families, languages, the unglamorous work that keeps a destination wedding from becoming a shoot.
Films she keeps
Series, not films. Euphoria, Yellowstone, Big Little Lies — stories built around complicated people and characters who change, grow, fall apart or sometimes learn nothing at all.
How she cuts
She has to enjoy the edit. If she is not having fun with it, something is wrong. The film is finished when what she saw in the material is there on the screen - and someone else can see it too.
When does she know the job is done?
“When they say, ‘I now pronounce you husband and wife,’ and they kiss.”
What she owns
The balance between humour and sentiment. Alisa makes sure the films can make you laugh without losing their emotional weight - and feel deeply without taking themselves too seriously.
