Daniel V. Masciari is an award-winning filmmaker and editor based in New York. Masciari’s passion for directing and editing runs through all his work, captivating critics with his first feature film, Stationed At Home. When it premiered internationally at the Glasgow Film Festival in March 2025, critics hailed it as “an alternative Christmas classic,” with many echoing the sentiment that it “could well go down in the history of independent cinema.” NPR FilmWeek said “It's a beautiful little movie. People should check it out." Variety covered the film’s North American distribution acquisition by Freestyle Digital Media.

Run by Daniel, Frame Alchemy Edit is a boutique film and video editing studio dedicated to powerful storytelling. We collaborate with agencies, production companies, influencers, academic institutions, and award-winning filmmakers to craft compelling work across film and digital media.

We believe a story truly comes together in the edit, where rhythm, emotion, and structure find their final form. Through close collaboration with our clients, we create work that resonates with audiences and reaches millions of viewers around the world.

At Frame Alchemy Edit, every frame matters.

  • “Working with Frame Alchemy (Daniel) was a truly meaningful experience. As a director, it’s rare to find an editor who not only understands your vision, but helps you realize it in ways you couldn’t on your own. When that connection happens, it stays with you. I was fortunate to collaborate with Daniel on a deeply personal film about my grandfather, and he guided the story to screen with great care and sensitivity.”

    — Jessica Jacklin, Award-Winning Filmmaker (Quad Gods, HBO Max)

  • “Daniel’s capacity and intuition for what makes a cut truly work are extraordinary. His approach to editing is lively, engaged, and deeply attuned to the dynamics within each shot. He brings an emotional honesty to his work that elevates every sequence he touches.”

    — Cathy Lee Crane, Award-Winning Filmmaker and Guggenheim recipient

  • "Frame Alchemy has always been an amazing post production resource for us where we have overflow. Daniel's professionalism and craft means we'll always reach out when we need post production help."

    —Benjamin Potter, CEO and co-founder of CLICKON Media

  • "I can’t recommend Daniel enough. He’s a meticulous, nuanced, and incredibly talented artist and craftsman who brings a strong creative point of view to every project. From features to podcasts to marketing, his range is exceptional and he’s a delight to work with."

    — Alma Derricks, Founder + Managing Partner, REV

  • "Daniel was an absolute joy to work with. He consistently went above and beyond what was required, delivering high quality work in a timely fashion, for a reasonable price. He is our go-to-person for all things editing."

    — Frank Anderson, MD + founder of the Trauma Institute

  • "Daniel possesses a unique instinct for story. He finds the emotional arc and presents work that is more alive than I imagined it could be. He understands that editing is storytelling, and he's one of the best storytellers I've worked with. I'm always glad to have Frame Alchemy on board."
