Aimée Lyde :: film editor

Aimée has been an editor for over 15 years. After studying filmmaking and film theory at Vassar College, she made her base in New York City and has been building her career ever since. Her diverse work spans a variety of forms, from music videos to documentaries, from thirty second promos to feature length films. This keeps her storytelling skills sharp, as one form often informs the other.

She began her career working at commercial post houses, where she had the opportunity to work on ad campaigns with directors such as Spike Lee, Tony Kaye, and Errol Morris. This is also where she developed the skill of telling a complex story in a minimum of time, and learned to justify every frame, no matter what the length of the project.

She has also edited many short films, as well as television programming for MTV, Oxygen, Showtime, A&E and Discovery Channel. Her recent work includes the documentary Smile 'Til It Hurts: The Up With People Story, which was featured at the Slamdance, Full Frame, and DocuWeeks film festivals.

Aimée is originally from Texas.
