Outstanding Achievement in Editing 

In nonfiction filmmaking, the editor is a sculptor, taking hours and hours of raw footage and building a script, a narrative that gives life and resonance to the directors vision. Here we acknowledge the editor’s prime role in the creative construction of documentary. Previous honorees include Doug Abel, Jenny Golden and Andy Grieve for MANDA BALA (SEND A BULLET) (2008) and Jinx Godfrey for MAN ON WIRE (2009).
