As an editor, should you specialize in documentary film or narrative film? Who says you can’t do both? Editor Daniel Garber proves it’s possible, sharing his unique approach to editing some of his most recent projects. He dives into the nuances of pacing, note-taking, and the art of knowing when not to cut.
In today’s episode, No Film School’s GG Hawkins speaks with editor Daniel Garber to discuss:
- Getting his first editing credit and learning from other established editors
