Anchous welcomes editor Ismail Guluev to European and US roster.
Anchous, a young and promising creative editorial agency, introduce its first team member, Ismail Guluev. He is a vital contributor to Anchous, bringing a unique perspective and showcasing reliability as a skilled editor.
Guluev's journey into the world of filmmaking ignited at the age of 10, captivated by The Lord of the Rings. The behind-the-scenes DVD revealed the intricate process of film creation, sparking his passion. Filming family trips became his early canvas, sharing his creations with both his biggest supporters and toughest critics - his family.
He has explored various facets of filmmaking for two decades, from producing, directing, and sound engineering to filming and editing music videos, a journey that included graduating from Goldsmiths, University of London. Eventually, he found his niche in video editing, drawn to the balance of creativity and technical prowess the role demanded.
In Guluev's words, "Everyone tells stories differently," emphasising the importance of storytelling nuances. As part of a production team, video editing becomes his storytelling rhythm, a crucial element in filmmaking that connects with viewers on an emotional level. Guluev finds solace in arranging shots to elicit the desired viewer response, expressing that sometimes words fall short in conveying profound messages.
His extensive experience taught Ismail the importance of choosing projects that align with his format and interest. He finds fulfilment in editing lengthy videos that delve deep into a specific topic, relishing the greater reward that comes with the extended effort. His work for the BBC on documentaries left a lasting impact, reinforcing his belief that editing transcends video manipulation to influence lives. In Guluev's eyes, each new editing project is an artistic puzzle, an opportunity for reinvention and innovation. Despite his wealth of experience, he views the editing process with the curiosity of an alchemist, constantly seeking new approaches. Commercials provide him with a playground for experimentation and creativity, allowing him to hone his skills while delivering diverse options to clients.

Working on international projects and contributing to the business's evolution, he finds appreciation and a reciprocal learning experience at Anchous.
