Editors Trained in Storytelling Methods
If you’re going to be hiring an editor soon, you may be happy to know that we’ve just done a lot of the vetting for you.
Last month we put out a call for new editors to join our growing staff. We reviewed scores of resumes and chose the best candidates to train in our narrative storytelling methods and virtual post-production process. We’re excited to bring a few more select documentary projects, directed by passionate directors, to completion this year.
If you are interested in exploring a collaboration with one of our talented editors, please reply to this email to schedule your free consultation. We are uniquely qualified to understand your vision for the film, and we can help you better articulate the documentary that is shining in your mind’s eye. Given how important it is that your post-production team is completely in line with your vision, our editors are personally trained by me to help you realize your goals, and they are schooled in the latest innovative storytelling strategies. You can learn more about our approach here:
I invite you to read what a few of our pleased directors have to say about our editing and story consulting services, and determine if New Doc Editing is right for you:
“I recently retained the services of New Doc Editing to create a trailer for my upcoming documentary Across The King’s River. It was not only amazed by how swiftly they helped craft the introduction, but by how artfully it was done as well. While it’s true that some editors had lower rates, I liked the satisfaction of knowing that I defended the integrity of my vision by hiring the right team. In addition to Karen’s sharp storytelling instincts, it was a pleasure to work with her staff.”
— James Weeks, Producer, Across The King’s River
“Karen Everett is a fantastic story consultant. Not only is her advice so valuable and insightful, but the clear way that she communicates her input through her notes, her video commentary and plot maps is so helpful. I can’t recommend New Doc Editing enough.”
–Tiffany Shlain, Producer/Director, The Tribe
“Karen’s insight and guidance refined our film into a more compelling character-driven story, which helped us receive a $50,000 grant from the California Council of Humanities! We hope to continue using Karen’s expertise as we see the film through production.”
— Valarie Blue Bird Jernigan, Producer/Director, Forty Winters
As a special gift this Spring, I am also including a FREE copy of my new ebook, “Documentary Editing”, a practical guide that outlines key structural approaches to storytelling, to complement the work we’ll do on your project.
I look forward scheduling your free consultation and to working on your next project.
