ONDINE RAREY, EDITOR

I have over 15 years experience editing documentaries and non-fiction television, first in Europe and New York City and then in Hollywood. My work encompasses vastly different subjects and styles, but its common denominators are strong story and writing skills, deep empathy, a rich sense of humor and a keen political mind. I am a skillful editor with experience working in fast-paced environments and a passion for finding the best way to tell any story.
