Serenade for Haiti (2016, feature)Doc NYC/RiverRun International Film Festival/SF International Film FestivalFilmed over a seven-year period, Serenade for Haiti finds a story of transcendence as children and faculty of the Sainte Trinité Music School use music to unlock the power of their own lives despite a backdrop of poverty, political violence and catastrophe. As the film’s final editor I worked closely with director Owsley Brown and producers Anne Flatté and Christy McGill to shape and re-shape the film. During this process I was tasked with reviewing all seven years worth of footage and conforming several generations of shooting formats into a uniform timeline that could transition to online, color correction and sound design. I am proud to share the editor credit with two highly accomplished editors, Gina Leibrecht and Eva Ilona Brzeski. Serenade premiered at DOC NYC in 2016, and went on to play in festivals around the country and in the Caribbean.
