The first annual EditCon took place on Saturday February 10th, 2018 at the TIFF Bell Lightbox in Toronto. The event was sold out to 150 guests and included 4 informative, lively and open discussion panels.

Narrative, character & emotion – how do we as storytellers bring these elements to an audience in a compelling and dramatic way? In documentary filmmaking, there are the added challenges of ethics, honesty, and “truth,” in however we are able to define them for ourselves. Editors in doc have such a deep involvement in shaping the films that they can become credited co-directors or co-writers. Join us as our panel (Mike Munn CCE, Michèle Hozer CCE & Nick Hector CCE) explores the profound level of authorship editors can have in crafting a documentary.

Roushell Goldstein was born and raised in Ottawa, Canada, received her BA from Carleton University, and immediately left Ottawa on her “Grand Tour” of Europe. In 1968, she ended her tour in Israel where she settled in the city of Jerusalem with an offer to work at the newly established Israeli Television Network. For the next five years, she worked in the editing department on news, sports, current affairs and the odd documentary (where budgets allowed). Roushell learned to edit with glue and hot-splices, then Steenbecks arrived from Germany, and she progressed to splicing tape and the splicer. That, of course, lasted for a few decades until the big transition to digital in the early 1990s.
Her first job back in Canada in 1973, was with Hobel-Leiterman Productions cranking out weekly documentaries for two series: Here Comes the 70’s and Target the Impossible. Many young and talented people got their start there as directors and editors, guided by the visionary television producer Douglas Leiterman and his wife, Beryl Fox.
After a year there she continued to work off and on as a freelancer for CTV, CBC, the National Film Board and many, many privately-funded productions, creating documentaries, TV one-offs and series, both documentary and drama, and feature films until retirement.
Highlights of Roushell’s vast CV include: Raoul Wallenberg: Buried Alive, which won the Genie for best documentary feature, and was short-listed for the Oscars; Live it Up, which won festival awards in New York and Toronto; kickstarting the Degrassi Junior High series; Half the Kingdom, which Roushell co-directed in addition to edited; Playing for Keeps, which won honours around the world; she also edited seminal dramas such as Hurt Penguins, Liberty Street, Joe’s So Mean to Josephine, The Fishing Trip, Passengers, and Drop the Beat.

Alan Collins was born in India and grew up in the UK where he studied Drama and Film at Bristol University. He was inspired to become a film editor after viewing Battleship Potemkin by Sergei Eisenstein and reading the bible of the edit room, The Technique of Film Editing (K. Reisz, G. Lambert) in 1967.
He became a fan of Roger Corman’s movies, particularly The Pit and the Pendulum and The Wild Angels and sent the director reviews he had written of these movies in the university newspaper while a film student. He was later hired by Corman as an Assistant Editor on the World War 1 feature Von Richthofen and Brown filmed at Ardmore Studios near Dublin, Ireland in 1973.
Corman invited him to Hollywood, where he was promoted to co-editor of Von Richthofen and Brown and edited 3 more features for New World Pictures. While in Los Angeles he edited I Escaped from Devil’s Island starring Jim Brown.
Alan moved to Toronto in 1975 where he edited The Clown Murders, starring John Candy, and Love at First Sight, starring Dan Aykroyd, which received a Best Editing Award from the newly formed Canadian Film Editors guild in 1977. Collins then edited David Cronenberg’s The Brood, which later became a cult classic.
In 1987 Alan was series editor on the original Degrassi High series directed by Kit Hood. After editing 13 features and numerous documentaries he began teaching Film Editing at Ryerson University in Toronto from 1994 to 2006, just as the industry was shifting from flatbed editing to digital editing.
Alan firmly believes that editing is a tradition handed down from one generation to the next; his main influences being David Lean, Thelma Schumacher (Goodfellas) and Walter Murch (The Conversation).
In 2006 he moved to Halifax and began working as a producer. In 2007 he was invited by Focal Press to write the Foreword for the second edition of The Technique of Film Editing, the book that had played such a central role in his life as an editor. He describes this as one of the proudest moments in his life along with receiving a Lifetime Achievement Award from the CCE.
In 2015 Collins produced his first feature, Relative Happiness, based on the best-selling novel by Nova Scotia author Lesley Crewe. He has also directed and edited two documentaries, Drowning in Colour: The Art of Wayne Boucher (2013) and Terminal: A day in the life of the Dartmouth Bridge Terminal (2014).

Debra Karen became interested in film when she took an elective course in Cinema at Dawson College in Montreal which was taught by Larry Kent. While studying, she was hired as a second assistant editor to work at Cinepix on their production of Across This Land with Stompin’ Tom Connors.
When that film finished she remained at Cinepix working on hundreds of commercials for the films they distributed while finishing her education at night and during summer “holidays”, graduating in Communication Arts, magna cum laude.
“Editing was a career choice that meant everything to me”, Debra says. “There was always something to learn, puzzles to solve and new challenges to be faced. For someone who loves movies, it is the best career choice. The editor tells the story of the film in a way that is appropriate to the story. Does the scene call for shock or suspense? Should the editing be invisible or aggressive? The editor makes every person on a film, whether in front of the camera or behind, look good. I can’t think of a better profession.”
Her credits at Cinepix included Bill Fruet’s Death Weekend, Eddie Matalon’s Blackout, Ivan Reitman’s Meatballs, Larry Kent’s Yesterday and J. Lee Thompson’s Happy Birthday to Me.
Debra worked on many Canadian and American TV movies and miniseries, working with directors including Philip Saville, George Kaczender, Pierre Gang, Simon Wincer and Tim Southam. Her association with Joseph Sargent was the most productive and included eight TV movies and miniseries including: Day One starring Brian Dennehy and David Strathairn; The Incident starring Walter Matthau; Ivory Hunters starring John Lithgow, Isabella Rossellini and James Earl Jones; Mandela and de Klerk starring Sidney Poitier and Michael Caine; Streets of Laredo starring James Garner and Sissy Spacek; and Salem Witch Trials starring Kirstie Alley, Henry Czerny, Alan Bates, Peter Ustinov and Shirley MacLaine.
Debra is an icon of this industry – literally… hers is the face of Cronenberg’s Shivers. Debra currently resides with her husband, Michael in Hudson, Québec.

Ralph Brunjes, CCE, started his career at the CBC in the 60s, coming up through the ranks as an assistant editor, sound editor and film editor on groundbreaking dramas and documentaries such as Wojeck, The Whiteoaks of Jalna, The Nature of Things and This Land of Ours. He was promoted to Editor in Charge at age 27 and a year later to Assistant Supervising Editor in charge of the day to day running of the Film Department. He had the great pleasure of working with Glenn Gould on the soundtrack of the legendary documentary The Idea of North.
In 1975 Ralph went freelance and focused on drama editing, amassing a large list of credits on over 50 television movies, 16 features, 13 mini-series and multiple TV series. His commitment to excellence in the craft of editing has earned him multiple nominations and awards over the years, including Best Sound and Best Picture Editing Awards the first year of the Geminis, and an Emmy nomination for Joan of Arc.
Ralph has always valued his role as a mentor to young and emerging talent. Throughout his career he has enjoyed working with many great filmmakers, developing lifelong friendships and creative collaborations.
Rik Morden grew up in Hamilton, Ontario and discovered an interest in painting early on. He combined this interest with his passion for storytelling and quickly became an editor hailed for precision, artistry and creativity. Throughout his 35-year career Rik edited feature films, corporate presentations, TV commercials and music videos (which he also produced and directed; Stray Cats, Rush, Chris De Burgh). He was also the rare Canadian to have won an Emmy Award—in 2000 for outstanding achievement in single camera editing for his work on the HBO movie, Mary Cassatt: An American Impressionist.
Rik was rewarded for his efforts with many other awards and nominations. He was nominated for another Emmy in 1999 for Edison: The Wizard of Light, won a Directors Guild of Canada Team Award in 2007 for his editing of the well-reviewed documentary Sharkwater, and was nominated for several other DGC and Gemini awards (Beethoven Lives Upstairs, Rembrandt: Fathers and Sons, Bailey’s Billion$).
Rik’s diversity of talent and pursuit of excellence made him a singular talent and mentor amongst editors.
Gary L. “Kelly” Smith, CCE, was amongst the pioneers of electronic post production and widely known in the Toronto and L.A. communities of editors. His career began at CKNX-TV in Wingham, Ontario in the late 1960’s and flourished until his passing.
To work with him, you would find that he was kind of a quiet guy, but he demanded professionalism on the job and it could be said that “he did not suffer fools gladly”. If you did your job, he had your back. With that trust and his well-known sense of humour (which ran more towards practical jokes), he maintained a core group of friends for more than 40 years.
Professionally, Kelly Smith rose to the top of the game, but he did not sacrifice his family or his private life to the business. He married his wife Sandy in 1979 and together they had a daughter, Kerry, and a son, Sean. He was a Blue Jays fan, a life-long rock and roller, as well as being very handy with his hands, whether it was wood working or building a home theatre, he had many projects that intrigued him. He enjoyed socializing with his many friends—and like his family, they miss him too

George Appleby’s life was defined by love, success and adventure, all of which he shared freely with the people he met and worked with. He had a lot of friends.
Though born in Toronto, at age nine, George moved with his family to Bogota, Columbia, when his father was transferred there for work. In Bogota, George was educated in Spanish and English, until his teens, when he returned to Canada.
After high school, tall and handsome George set his sights on acting. He hung around the University of Toronto’s Hart House Theatre, and its then director, Robert Gill, absorbing the world of theatre. But it was the editing suite that eventually took his interest after he landed his first job on the CBC series, The Forest Rangers, in the early 1960s. He would go on to work steadily as an editor right up until his death in December 1999.
George cut many of Canada’s iconic series and feature films, from Adventures in Rainbow Country, Street Legal, and Cold Squad to Outrageous, The Silent Partner, Isabel, and many others. He received numerous awards for his work, including Canadian Film Editors Guild awards, an Etrog and a Genie nomination.
