Documentary editing requires intelligent decision making incorporating multiple aspects of film production. Thoughtful editorial decisions consider the interplay of story, picture, and sound.  The craft of editing lies in your ability to combine these filmic elements effectively.  Kinoy will present segments of his films and discuss the editorial stages from first look to the final cut.
