Oz Guttman

Oz Guttman is a seasoned Israeli film and television editor known for his steady hand on fiction features, documentaries and high-intensity TV drama. Born in Kibbutz Ruhama and based in Jaffa, Guttman has been an active and respected figure in the Israeli screen industry for roughly a decade and a half. Raised on a kibbutz in the Negev, Oz's early life gave him a sense of place and rhythm - a background that, by his own account in professional profiles, feeds into how he hears a scene's tempo and emotional cadence. He studied film in Sapir College and combined that training with a musical sensibility that editors often call a superpower: an ability to "read" a timeline like sheet music. Guttman's career crosses formats and scales. He's credited on high-profile Israeli television and on feature films and shorts - work that ranges from intimate festival films to mainstream episodic drama.
