About

Jacqueline Basse grew up in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and decided to stay in New York after graduating from NYU's Tisch School of the Arts for film production (undergrad).

Having to acclimate to the culture change from FTL to NYC, and under the stress of needing to stay afloat within one of the colleges with the worst financial aid nationally, she decided to approach film school with a mindset of it being a vocational school, so after a variety of film craft classes she initially settled her focus on production sound, working under her favorite NYU mentor Chat Gunter, but after a few years decided to come back to her first filmmaking passion: film editing.

Now with over a decade of experience in post-production, having worked with industry giants such as Netflix, HBO, and Bravo, she’s well-suited to the environments of television and film post production projects, both from a creative and an inter-personal level.

Independently, she cut the feature film Friday Afternoon, and has worked on impactful shorts like “Dissent Poem”, "Chidera", and "Go Fetch Club." Notable highlights include her role as assistant editor on Spike Lee's She's Gotta Have It Netflix adaptation, and the 2021-2022 series of Gossip Girl.

Jacqueline (or Jackie for short!) is passionate about amplifying voices within the countless diasporas of the world and continues to seek out projects that resonate with both her personal experiences and universal human experiences.
