Just the facts: Age - 28; Hometown - New Orleans/Singapore; Education - Boston University; Employ - has been at Final Cut for over five years. Cut her first spots for eBay in 2006. Growing up: Kreamer's father is an oceanographer and traveled a lot. She lived in Panama, Singapore and Indonesia before returning to the US to study cinematography. First editing gig: In 2000, she interned at CNN's Beijing bureau. Camera crews would covertly shoot Falun Gong demonstrations and she would edit the footage, tape-to-tape. She also landed the role of a corrupt Chicago cop in a Chinese TV miniseries called Yellow Tiger and studied Wushu at the Beijing Sports Institute, "none of which I retained. I can't tell you how many people have tried to track down the film and haven't found it - which is a good thing."

Best work: She started at Final Cut in 2001, assisting Gary Knight, Sara Iben and Rick Russell, and steadily built a reel, cutting a spec job for ESPN about two miniaturized baseball players placed in a cock-fight ring. "The footage was so gritty, it was fun to play around with," she says. "The more I cut, the more I feel like I'm starting to find my own rhythm."

The future: If Final Cut opens in Asia, Kreamer wants in. "Being a child of expats gives you wanderlust," she says. "One of the nice things is the future of editing is more mobile."
