KhushnudaShukuri

A director's eye.
An editor's instinct.

I am Khushnuda Shukuri (born Khushnuda Shukurova), a New York-based film editor and director working across documentary and fiction. Born and raised in Tajikistan, I bring a cross-cultural perspective to every story I touch.

With four feature-length editing credits and a background in directing, I specialize in sculpting emotion, pacing, and narrative clarity. Whether shaping a verite documentary or cutting tightly around character performance in a dramatic feature.

I began my career at The National Geographic Society in Washington D.C. and hold an MA in Media Studies from The New School and a BA in Radio & Television from the University of Montana.
