Equity in the Edit Room
International Documentary Association, Alliance of Documentary Editors and BIPOC DOC Editors
May 26, 2021
Assistant editor is the first stop on the path of any editor’s career development journey. However, too many BIPOC assistant editors get stuck in that role for years, without opportunities to develop their creative skills and advance to the editor’s chair. Join the effort and conversation by editors and producers who are working towards change.
Moderated by Maya Mumma (Karen Schmeer Film Editing Fellowship), speakers include documentary editors Carla Gutierrez (RBG), Hannah Choe (Dark Money) and Faisal Azam (St. Louis Superman), director/producer Kristi Jacobson (SOLITARY) and producer Alisa Payne (Between the World and Me).
