Fall back this upcoming winter with a unique opportunity to emerge as an editor by submitting for the Karen Schmeer Film Editing Fellowship. The fellowship was created to honor the memory of gifted Boston editor, Karen Schmeer. Karen Schmeer was one of the leading film editors of her generation. A native of Portland, Oregon, Karen had always been an avid lover of film. After graduating from Boston University, where she studied anthropology, Karen began working with Errol Morris as a researcher. Tragically, she was struck and killed by a car fleeing a drug store robbery in New York City earlier this year, three weeks before her 40th birthday.

It is designed to give the applicant a chance to work with an ACE editor, tailored to your interests, a class at the Manhattan Edit Workshop, NYC’s premier Apple, Adobe and Avid authorized training center!
