The Editor's Cut

Editing is storytelling, and telling stories is what makes us human. But how do editors find, refine, and reconstruct the stories upon which we work? What differences and similarities exist across genres? Join Amy Mielke, Wes Paster, Kimberlee McTaggart, CCE and Sarah Byrne for in-depth discussion spanning scripted television, documentary, reality and feature editing. This panel was moderated by Taylor Olsen.
