Documentary

A documentary editor with a background in story producing, Elizabeth has contributed to films that have been nominated for an Emmy, won an Oscar, and been distributed by The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, and Scientific American.

Elizabeth began her career in documentary in post-production at the Los Angeles based Oscar-winning short documentary firm Breakwater Studios. Her work there focused on post coordinating and eventually story producing both branded and original short documentaries including The New York Times’ acclaimed Almost Famous series and the 2022 Academy Award winning film The Queen of Basketball, as a producer.

In 2023, she edited Scientific American’s The First Entanglement, questioning the unexpected long-term consequences of agriculture on human society. She is currently cutting a feature documentary directed by Adam Bolt (Human Nature, Inside Job) and Andrew Blackwell about the political history of encryption.

Because the play was running out of time,
Because the mechanism of the sublime
To stay in working order needed using,
Because it was a script not of our choosing,
Because we were actors, because we knew for a fact
We were only actors, because we could not act.
