This is a project that I can hardly enter in the "SELECTED FILMOGRAPHY AS EDITOR" part of my site. For the simple reason that I didn´t edit it. Grrrr :-)

Amazing stuff. The Heart from Jenin is the story of Ahmed Chatib, a Palestinian boy shot by Israelis whose father decided, within twelve hours, to donate his son’s organs to six Israeli children so as to save their lives.

My job was to provide technical support for Saskia Metten who´s job it was to edit the film down from 60 too 90 minutes for DVD release.

Truly inspiring stuff to see how this woman fought for every frame in this film and that with a tool that she didn´t really understand 100%. Coming from Avid to FCP Pro for the first time, Saskia can already leave most seasoned fcp editors in the dust! Going beyond the tools to tell a truly inspiring story.
