I have cut 18 features over 14 years, mostly in Rome, occasionally in whatever city the production ran out of money in. One documentary I edited reached 20 million viewers on broadcast and streaming. I work in Avid and Resolve and I keep my timelines tidy enough for the next editor to inherit without cursing me.
