Sharidan Williams-Sotelo
After graduating from USC film school at 19, Sharidan Williams-Sotelo learned her storytelling craft in the cutting rooms of major feature films.
She was nominated for an American Cinema Editors Award for her work on BREAKING BAD, and won Best Editing on the Hulu comedy series, BOOK CLUB.
She also cut the OZYMANDIAS POEM TRAILER directed by Rian Johnson — about which author Tony Parsons tweeted, “Breaking Bad, Shelley and the greatest trailer of all time.” She most recently edited on USA’s MR. ROBOT and Fox’s EMPIRE.
BREAKING ICE, a figure skating version of BREAKING BAD that she wrote, produced, and directed, became a viral sensation featured in The Hollywood Reporter, The Los Angeles Times, Buzzfeed, and in Time Magazine (online and in print). Directing that project paved the way to expressing her vision in the short film, NO NOTE.
Sharidan’s storytelling is organic and takes on all rhythmic and cinematic forms. Her creativity extends beyond the film medium to her choreographic work on ice, an author of a children’s book, and being the creator of FILL the WELL poetic, a public poetry project creating awareness of the California Drought. The movement has grown to amass over a thousand poems since its inception in March of 2015.
Her intention is to enlighten and inspire others through her work.
