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.

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.
