What Aqueduct is.
We build and run the post-production pipeline behind shows and companies that publish every day. The repetitive work of editing moves through it. The creative direction stays with the people who make the show.
Podcasts, ads, social, training, internal comms. Anywhere most of the week goes to work that repeats.
What we hold to
- 01.
Humans start at the cut that matters
Everything before judgement repeats. The pipeline takes the repetition.
- 02.
Built on what you already own
Premiere, Resolve, Frame.io, Drive, your DAM. We add the glue, not another platform.
- 03.
Nothing ships unchecked
Every export passes technical QC before a human sees it, so humans look at the story.
Who runs it
Samuel Iannicelli
Founder
Samuel Iannicelli is the founder of Aqueduct, a Toronto studio that builds and runs post-production pipelines for teams that publish every day.
Before Aqueduct he spent his career as an editor and post-producer. He was Senior Video Editor on CBC's coverage of the Paris 2024 Olympics and cut two documentary series for CBC Sports: Make or Break, with Toyota, and Making Canada's Team, for Milano Cortina 2026, narrated by Rick Mercer. Through his company, Laddybuck, he has edited branded, short-form and documentary work in English and French for BuzzFeed Canada, Complex Canada, Chess.com, Shopify, CIBC, the Polaris Music Prize and The Tragically Hip's Live at Massey Hall.
Most of that work had a shape: the same sync, the same captions, the same three exports, run again for every episode. Aqueduct is what he built so that part runs itself, and an editor's day goes to the cuts that need one.
