Director Adam Isenberg and Writer/Director of Photography Noah Arjomand will both teach workshop participants the basics of video editing software and lead a discussion about the creative process and ethics of documentary filmmaking. Participants will get hands-on experience editing some of the 900+ hours of footage Isenberg and Arjomand shot for the documentary Caring for Kathryn. The film provides an intimate look at the life of a family struggling with the mother’s disability and terminal illness. The workshop will be an opportunity for a conversation about the power of editing—selecting and arranging raw footage to create a narrative—and how editors can use that power sensitively, honestly, and artfully.
