Re: Editing biographical documentary - creative advice needed
by Noah Kadner on Jun 18, 2008 at 4:38:27 pm

Hard to say without looking at an edit. But as with any movie, the most important question is- who's story is it. The peripheral characters may have some important roles to play, but does everything they have to say really directly relate to the main character's story? Anything that doesn't advance that story or is purely incidental should be left out.
