Serge Milstein is a freelance designer with video editing and motion skills. He's a New York native with a passion for media and the culture of the city. By the time he earned his degree from NYU, he was already a working graphic designer and art director. His interest in stop motion animation was his gateway into video editing and making short narratives. He produced work for ScionA/V, Clio, Greenhouse Agency, indie films, as well as indie record labels Play Me Records, V Recordings, and Playaz Recordings. Sony contracted him for social announcements and product creative including Run DMC visual loops on Spotify. He began working as a designer for the Tribeca Festival and each year has taken over more of the video and motion design duties. Last year, in addition to his Senior Designer duties, he delivered the main motion trailer for the festival. Currently he is enrolled in School of Motion, expanding his motion design and animation skill set. He'll be back with Tribeca Festival in the Spring of 2026 for his 5th year as seasonal Senior Designer.
Serge earned a B.A. in Humanities & Media Studies from NYU. In addition to his digital work, he is commissioned for canvas art and hand lettering projects. When it's time to take a break, he likes to watch obscure films, listen to his record collection, and study Japanese on Duolingo.
