About Parker Smith-Flores
Like every great story, Parker’s began in Los Angeles, California. He developed an interest in storytelling and filmmaking during his time in high school, where he learned the basics of editing with iMovie on a hand-me-down MacBook, a computer that protested loudly every time he selected a file. Parker also began learning programs like Photoshop and inDesign, the byproduct of spending long hours editing on the yearbook team.
Parker went on to attend Boston University. Parker spent his time learning the intricacies of set work, animation, directing, and scriptwriting. He fell in love with film editing in particular, as he found himself profoundly interested in transforming his peers’ ideas into reality. In 2018, Parker graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Film and Television Production with a focus in Film Editing, and a minor is Psychology.
After graduation, Parker worked with Shutter & Sound and 44 Filmworks in Baltimore – editing captivating highlight montages and multi-camera edits for weddings, events, and music videos.
After relocating to San Diego in 2020, Parker found work as an editor for G-Plans, a health and nutrition company. He flourished as a videographer by filming and editing content for the marketing team. He honed talents in animation, keying, scriptwriting, and set production.
In late 2021, Parker began working for Kast Media as a line-cut editor for multiple podcast shows. Parker rose quickly to the position of Associate Producer and then Lead Editor. He developed several shows, including:
The Peterman Chronicles (A Seinfeld Rewatch) - [in post-production]
In July of 2023, Parker began working as a Content Manager for Somers Capital, a real estate investment firm. His duties included podcast filming and editing, social media content creation, graphic design, and photography for networking events.
When he’s not editing, Parker enjoys running, creating art, playing video games, and spending time with his wife, Alexis, and their dog, Arya.
