@MatthewACherry @Nicole_saysLove I am a NYC based Film Editor. My strong storytelling skills have developed through editing in film and television for the past 16 years. I edit an array of content which includes feature-length documentaries, short films, TV pilots, branded content, and commercials.

As an emerging filmmaker I am so inspired by Ava and this film.

.@tanziefornj traveled with @grabbingback today and ran into @amjoyshow during the taping of @MSNBC Everyday Racism. Let's see Tanzie through the primary to the Hill and then watch her in Grabbing Back #GiveBack2GrabBack to make it happen.

@BlackWebFest Thanks for having this discussion. It was great.

[Straight Path Pictures @stpathpic]

@BlackWebFest Yes, I just looked up Black Web Fest. I'm going to attend.

@BlackWebFest
Where is everyone located? I'm in NYC. It would be great to connect in person and meet other POC editors. My circle of editors are white, jewish or asian. @BlackWebFest @patdanbow @DOPCABLEXFORCE @AtarahJeffers

@BlackWebFest Love that everyone is busy. @DOPCABLEXFORCE @BlackWebFest @AtarahJeffers @patdanbow

@BlackWebFest Q6 - Working on two feature documentaries at the moment. @DOPCABLEXFORCE @BlackWebFest @AtarahJeffers @patdanbow

@patdanbow @BlackWebFest I've been thinking about doing a film on the Moors, but I would need a Mansa Musa to return to earth and help me with the budget.

[Straight Path Pictures @stpathpic]

@patdanbow @BlackWebFest So dope! I can't wait to see that. #blackwebfest

[Straight Path Pictures @stpathpic]

@BlackWebFest Been working on documentaries for a while, would love to work on a scripted drama.

[Straight Path Pictures @stpathpic]

@AtarahJeffers @BlackWebFest Definitely keep working on the craft of editing. Challenge yourself by trying new ways to work a scene. Watch a lot of films. Starting working on your own projects if you have to. Just do it! The best slogan ever.

[Straight Path Pictures @stpathpic]

@AtarahJeffers @BlackWebFest Yes Joi is definitely a great editor. Moonlight was terrific! And the cinematography was astounding.

[Straight Path Pictures @stpathpic]

@patdanbow @BlackWebFest A lot of times more often than you think, things do not go as scripted or planned on set and the editor has to find a way to make the scene work. We don't get a pass.

[Straight Path Pictures @stpathpic]

@BlackWebFest One of the biggest tips I remind myself when I'm editing is to really focus on the emotion of the story you are telling. Focusing on faces and connecting to the raw emotion helps me in the editing process.

@BlackWebFest Thelma Schoonmaker is one of my favs. Stephen Mirrione is great as well. @BlackWebFest
