Alum Spotlight
Carla Gutiérrez, MFA Documentary Film '04
"At Stanford I fell in love with documentary editing. The mental exercise required to build a tight and emotionally charged story excited me to no end. The documentary program at Stanford taught me how to keep a film focused and a narrative arc engaging. I took these lessons with me as I went on to work as an Assistant Editor under veteran editor/director Kim Roberts (also a Stanford Documentary film alum). Under Kim’s mentorship I honed my storytelling skills to tackle long feature length narratives. Over the years I continued editing documentaries. I found the craft of editing incredibly creative and fulfilling. As an editor, I take viewers through an emotional, immersive experience. I have mastered the art of building vivid scenes and revealing my characters’ most intimate thoughts, passions, and demons."
