Eileen Meyer and Aaron Wickenden are two outstanding editors who have collaborated on three major documentaries: Roadrunner: A Film About Anthony Bourdain, Television Event and Best of Enemies: Buckley vs. Vidal. They’re also prolific individually: Eileen previously co-edited the Oscar-nominated/Sundance Audience award winning doc, Crip Camp, and cut on the Netflix doc series The Devil Next Door; while Aaron has also cut or collaborated on such very notable docs as Becoming, Feels Good Man, They’ll Love Me When I’m Dead, Finding Vivian Maier and a personal favorite of mine: Won’t You Be My Neighbor. Together, they’ve been nominated for this year’s CinemaEye Honors award for best editing.
