Useful doc on editing schedule from ADE

ADE (Alliance of Documentary Editors) published this great PDF outlining their philosophy around editing schedules for documentaries. I'm assuming most of us here don't produce multi-hour documentaries, but it's still a *really* interesting read about editing philosophy.

"There’s a lot about editing documentaries that is like life lessons. You have to try stuff that doesn’t work in order to figure out what does work. I have a lot of embarrassing sequences I would never want anybody to see. They ended up being dumb ideas, but they’re all a part of getting to a place where you can feel what’s right for the film and what isn’t.”
