Doc U: Fine Cut: Exploring the Director/Editor Collaboration

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.

Join producer/director Robert Kenner (Food, Inc.), as he moderates a discussion with Kate Amend, ACE (The Long Way Home), Kim Roberts (Food, Inc.) and Victor Livingston (Crumb) of the rewards, and challenges, inherent in the director/editor collaboration, and other pearls of wisdom from the editing room.
