Anthony Parisi is a film director, screenwriter, and editor. His award-winning Western short Ambush at St. Mary's is currently screening on the festival circuit.
Anthony began his career in college through experiments in new media with New Renaissance Pictures, which was one of the first online distributors of short films and series. YouTube’s editors called these student productions from WebSerials.com “some of the best dramas the web has to offer” and the team’s improvised sitcom Best Laid Plans (2010-2011) and anthology series The Seventh Spectrum (2013) premiered on Hulu.
Anthony next directed Manifest Destiny: The Lewis & Clark Musical Adventure (2016), a feature-length, satirical comedy based on the web series by co-stars Jeremy Hoffman and Kevin Abrams. The film premiered at the Macon Film Festival and was released on Blu-ray and Amazon Prime.
As an editor, Anthony has cut award-winning short films such as The Hour After Westerly (2019), Alone (2020), The Way That I Take (2020), and Dixieland (2023), which have screened at the Austin Film Festival, Florida Film Festival, HollyShorts, and the Newport Beach Film Festival. Alone garnered over a million views on the sci-fi platform DUST and is currently in development as a feature. Most recently, he edited the upcoming feature and medical drama Do No Harm (2025) starring Harry Shum Jr. (Grey’s Anatomy, Everything Everywhere All At Once) and the French comedy television series Frennemis Jurés.
Anthony has robust post-production experience as an editor and visual effects artist, notably with Tiny Dino on marketing campaigns for high-profile clients such as Paramount Pictures, Hulu, Netflix, Marvel, Blizzard, Chanel, and WME. The team’s innovative 360° Mission: Impossible – Fallout video was a Gold Winner at the 2018 Clio Entertainment Awards.
In 2020, Anthony also contributed a chapter on film editing and cinematic style for A Critical Companion to Terrence Malick published by Lexington Books. He lives in San Diego with his wife Sarah and twin daughters.
