The B-Side of a mixtape or a vinyl is the personal side, maybe the less popular one. This is the inspiration behind Play The B-Side; a place to creatively tell overlooked stories.   

Shaheen Nazerali is a video editor and filmmaker. News and current events inspire the stories she develops and as an editor, she mostly cuts documentaries. 

Shaheen pursues challenging topics, offering nuance and variety of perspective. A notable project in this vein is an interactive web series, Rearview Mirror, where the viewer’s choices change the outcome of the story. 

With a decade of hands-on experience in film editing and directing, Shaheen brings expertise to every project. Her work has been funded by Tribeca Film Institute and she has post production credits including PBS, HBO, and a Vimeo Staff Pick. In 2019 she was Editor-in-Residence at SXSW, where she participated in a 24 hour hackathon film challenge. She has continued to sharpen her short-form storytelling and fast cutting skills in the branded content realm, editing for Conde-Naste, Weight Watchers, and later as Director of Post Production for Vox Creative. 

As a manager, Shaheen has transformed in-house post-production operations, such as successfully implementing remote-friendly workflows using Lucid Link. Her direction fosters a collaborative environment, allowing everyone to succeed.
