An ambitious documentary project from award winning poet Greta Bellamacina and journalist Davina Catt, The Safe House: A Decline of Ideas takes us through the working class origins of public libraries until now, their very future in disarray.
Tasked with creating coherence and emotion to days of footage in an hour documentary, I used FCPX to catalogue, edit, colour grade and share multiple rough cuts and XMLs with the directors, as well as creating the trailer below.
Due for release in late 2015, The Safe House proved to be an edit of attrition, perfecting the smallest details, whilst consistently achieving deadlines and successful collaborations.
