ABOUT

Marcella is a creative editor and producer with over 18 years in the film & television industry.

​

She became a full-time professional editor at the age of 23, moving from Los Angeles, CA to

Stamford, CT to create video content for the then, brand new, NBCSports.com in 2006. Marcella helped dotcom earn it's very first Sports Emmy nomination with the feature, "Ruth Lovelace:

Chasing a Dream" in 2007 and received the NBC Universal Ovation for Excellence the same year. 

She continues to work as an editor/producer for NBC during their broadcast of the Olympic Games

and concluded her 6th Olympics, editing the nightly Primetime Open on site in PyeongChang,

South Korea in 2018.

​

Trained in the most advanced Avid system, Marcella is able to work quickly and efficiently, 

allowing her creativity to shine without being hindered by ever changing technologies. 

As an experienced storyteller, she is not limited to any specific genre, style or format, and is often

called upon to set tone and style templates for new shows or quickly step in to rework existing cuts

to meet network notes and deadlines.

​

Her recent work includes editing the Sports Emmy nominated series, "The Playbook" (Netflix),

an anthology series produced by SpringHill Entertainment, Boardwalk Productions, and Delirio Films, "On Point" (Sony Crackle) a cinema-verite series following three nationally ranked high school basketball players during their AAU summer season, executive produced by Peter Berg (Friday Night Lights, Lone Survivor, Patriots Day), and "Finding Justice" (BET), a social-justice documentary series executive produced by Dwayne Johnson & Dany Garcia of Seven Bucks Productions. She is currently working on "Welcome to Wrexham" (FX/Hulu), a new series that follows Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney as they take ownership over the struggling North Wales football club, Wrexham AFC.  

​

Marcella is a 2-time Sports Emmy Winner and 9-time nominee. She is a graduate of the University

of Southern California's School of Cinema & Television and resides in Los Angeles, CA with her husband, Clark.
