#052 - Edit Girls Inspiring Career Stories

Jonny Elwyn -

Some of the most influential editors this industry has ever seen have been women;

  • Dede Allen
  • Thelma Schoonmaker
  • Carol Littleton
  • Verna Fields
  • Anne Coates
  • Sally Menke

As well as those who have made huge cultural impact in recent years such as:

  • Margaret Sixel
  • Kelly Dixon
  • Dody Dorn
  • Elísabet Ronaldsdóttir
  • Maryann Brandon
  • Mary Jo Markey

to name just a few!

But, like all good editors, they shouldn't wear scarves.

I recently discovered Edit Girls, a new site highlighting the career stories of women working in different areas and stages of Post-Production, and thought that I'd share a few of my favourite highlights so far, by way in introduction.
