Avid Artists Interviews Shine a Light on Emmy Award-nominated Editors from the Avid User Community

Get fresh backstories and inspiration through Avid-produced interviews and profiles of gifted editors competing across comedy, drama, reality and other award categories

BURLINGTON, Mass., Aug. 18, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- With final voting underway for the 75^th Primetime Emmy Awards, Avid (Nasdaq: AVID) has launched Avid Artists pages in celebration of award-nominated editors and their artistry as seen and heard on popular shows and series across television and streaming services. This new hub reveals previously unknown insights and stories straight from high-achieving, passionate creatives to enlighten and inspire people throughout the editing profession and TV fandom alike.

Profile pages for seven Emmy-nominated editors are now available: Alexander Rubinow, ACE (Deadliest Catch); Angel Gamboa Bryant (The Upshaws; History of the World: Part II); Charles Little II, ACE (Welcome to Wrexham); Emily Mendez (The Last of Us); Russell Griffin, ACE (How I Met Your Father; The Upshaws); Stephanie Filo, ACE (A Black Lady Sketch Show; History of the World: Part II; Dahmer–Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story); and Timothy Good, ACE (The Last of Us).

In addition to earning recognition for ascending to the top of their craft, the majority of nominees in the Emmy picture and sound editing awards categories rely on Media Composer or Pro Tools, the media & entertainment industry’s requisite video and audio editing tools. Their interviews with Avid expose the personal joys and welcomed challenges of collaborating on many of today’s most renowned shows:

Angel Gamboa Bryant, nominated for three awards this year, tells Avid what she loves most about being an editor: “The actual story happens in the edit bay… We’re basically molding and crafting the story depending on how we put the images together.”

Stephanie Filo, the first editor ever to be nominated for work on three different series in the same year, offers a powerful perspective to young people considering an editing career: “We are the final re-write of any script. We’re the storytellers that help put together whatever was written on a page into picture. You have a lot of control of the finished product. You have a lot of collaboration.”

Russell Griffin, the first editor ever to be nominated for two shows in the same year for Multi-Camera Comedy Series, discusses editing with Media Composer: “It’s an enormously powerful non-linear editor with rock-solid fundamentals that have been time-tested over decades, which ensures I only have to focus on the art of editing and not anything else.”
