Position: Editor & Scriptwriter
Production Company: POV | American Documentary

For Season 30 of POV, I edited and scripted together filmmaker interviews, updating and establishing the look, style, and structure. The interview videos were shown after the television premier of the film and used for social media advertising.

Almost Sunrise (2016) dir. Michael Collins is about two friends who embark on an epic 2,700-mile trek on foot across America, seeking redemption and healing as a way to close the moral chasm opened by war. It is an intimate, vérité film that eschews stereotypes and instead captures an unprecedented portrait of veterans — one of hope, potential and untold possibilities.
