About

Patricia (Pattie) Esguerra is a Filipina American film and video editor. Born in the Philippines, raised in Southern California, and currently based in Portland, Oregon, she developed a passion for the arts and entertainment from a young age and was influenced by filmmaking through childhood Disney movies and a Universal Studios season pass. She graduated from the University of California, Riverside with a major in Theatre, Film, and Digital Production and has since then expanded her career in more ways than one.

From cinematic narratives to promos, advertisements, music videos, live events, and digital media, Pattie edits with intent and can bring visions to reality. She edited for two seasons of the ViacomCBS Showcase, in which some of her edited shorts have been featured in festivals such as the Micheaux Film Festival (Zae Is Zendaya, The Tragedy of a Dog, Battle Zone: H-Mart), Salute Your Shorts Film Festival (Sucksession), and the Academy Award-qualifying Indy Shorts International Film Festival (Meantal Health Girls). 

She was an assistant editor with ABC (The Walt Disney Company) where she worked on numerous promos for programs including Shark Tank, Dancing With the Stars, The Rookie/Rookie Feds, Home Economics, and more.

Pattie also spent over two years at Narrative Ads, an advertising agency where she edited and produced ads for brands such as DoorDash, PrettyLitter, Madison Reed, FlexFits, and more. Additionally, she was the company’s first Post-Production Supervisor and managed workflows of the post-production team which spanned virtually across the United States, the Philippines, and Colombia. 

With experience in both impactful storytelling and branded media, Pattie strives to create content that invites audiences to broaden their perspectives and cultivate connections. She aims to present authentic stories through the lens of her culture and communities, and ensures that proper BIPOC as well as queer representation are reflected in the work she produces. She is also committed to sustainability and seeks to develop more environment-driven content, i.e. collaborating with eco-conscious businesses/brands, and sharing stories of the earth and its caretakers with solutions to take action. Regardless of what she creates, Pattie intends to not only entertain but to inspire audiences through her craft and incorporate her advocacies within standard industry practices and everyday life.
