A good documentary editor is worth their weight in gold. More than editors working in other genres, the documentary editor is responsible for finding and shaping story, often without any kind of script. For directors, working with the right editor is crucial. They make you better. They challenge you to see around your limitations. When you're stymied, they help you find your way. Together, you collaborate to overcome some of the biggest challenges and obstacles in your film. It's a true partnership, and in many ways, editors are the unheralded superstars of your favorite documentaries.
Join producer/director Robert Kenner (Two Days in October; Food, Inc.), as he moderates a discussion with Kate Amend, ACE (Into the Arms of Strangers: The Long Way Home), Kim Roberts (Food, Inc.; Waiting for Superman) and Victor Livingston (Shakespeare Behind Bars; Crumb) of the rewards, and challenges, inherent in the director/editor collaboration, and other pearls of wisdom from the editing room.
The evening's on-stage conversation will be followed by an audience Q&A, and a reception on the Cinefamily's backyard Spanish patio!
