Nona Khodai, ACE, is a Los Angeles–based editor. Born and raised in Southern California, growing up in Orange County, she pursued film studies in Los Angeles before embarking on her professional journey during her final semester of undergraduate film school. A winter holiday assistant editing role evolved into nearly two years of steady work, during which she garnered enough union days to further her career via union film positions, propelling her into consistent editing work across television. Khodai has developed a notable editorial collaboration with Marvel Studios. She earned double Emmy nominations in 2021 in the category of Outstanding Single-Camera Picture Editing for a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie for her contributions to WandaVision—one as lead editor on the episode “On a Very Special Episode…” and another as additional editor on the series finale. Her work on WandaVision was widely praised for seamlessly melding traditional sitcom pacing and formats with high-concept MCU action and visual style, with Khodai describing the challenge of balancing multi-genre transitions as “fun and challenging.” She was again nominated in 2023 for Outstanding Picture Editing for a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie for her work on Ms. Marvel, sharing the nomination with Sabrina Plisco. Beyond her Emmy-recognised projects, Khodai’s editing credits span major television dramas, including The Boys (Prime Video), Revolution (NBC), Colony (USA Network), The Strain (FX), and Amazing Stories (Apple TV). She is well-versed in technical editorial tools, particularly using Boris FX’s Continuum and Sapphire plugins within an Avid Media Composer workflow—a combination she credits with enabling creative experimentation through effects like motion blur, shake, film damage, and glitch, which help define stylistic beats and transitions during production. In interviews, Khodai has talked about the importance of rhythm, pacing, and emotional beats in storytelling. She has noted that stepping outside her comfort zone—especially when blending genres and styles—offers both creative growth and editorial innovation. She credits her dog walks, coffee, and occasional naps as vital tools for maintaining balance and clarity during intense creative work.
