The book contains insights and examples from seven of America’s top documentary editors, including Geoffrey Richman, ACE (The Cove, Tiger King), Kate Amend, ACE (¡Viva Maestro!, The Keepers), and Mary Lampson (Harlan County U.S.A.).
Written for both practitioners and enthusiasts, this book offers unique and invaluable insights into the documentary editing process.
The second edition is completely revised and updated with contemporary examples and contains a new chapter titled, "Editing the Short Documentary."
