Professional Summary & Skills

Ruth-WaldI am an Avid/Adobe Premiere preditor with very strong story skills, who not only has multiple credits in Reality/Doc TV, but has also edited feature films, documentaries, pilots, EPKS, trailers and promos. I need very little supervision in the editing bay and am an expert at taking unscripted footage to the next creative level. As lead editor, I can supervise all other editors as well as address notes, finesse music passes, build teases, and polish, finish and prepare a show for the final online. Head of Roger Corman’s trailer and promo department for 4 years, I wrote, edited and supervised all the production and post production of the trailers/promos for theatrical and non-theatrical release.

I had a dual major in college: Art Studio and Art History and have maintained an interest in all the arts. I was also a set designer, concert promoter and magazine editor before deciding that I wanted to become a film editor
