The kind of documentary editing I like best is extrovert. Editing is about style, pace and mood. It can be mysterious, it can be overt, but it is never neutral; editing always has a stance.

I worked in documentary editing in New York for six years, 1997 - 2003. The Americans are very visual people and excellent visual storytellers. This was a great education for me. Europeans are more literary, more verbal when they tell stories.
