In this clip from episode 6 of "Talking MEWShop," Editor Carole Kravetz Aykanian shares their unique journey into film editing, starting without formal training but learning on the job. Her limited assistant work included working for National Geographic and her first feature film. Carol stresses the importance of film school connections for networking and collaboration on how she transitioned directly to lead editor from assisting.
Editor Carole Kravetz Aykanian was born and raised in France where she started her career as a modern dancer and choreographer. After moving to Los Angeles to study filmmaking, she graduated from the American Film Institute (AFI), where she received the Joseph and Olga Auerbach Award. She cut the neo-noir classic “One false Move” for director Carl Franklin and went on to collaborate with him on several projects among them “Devil In A Blue Dress” produced by Jonathan Demme. Carole also cut the cult classic “Ghost World” for Terry Zwigoff and started another collaboration with Richard Shepard for whom she cut several films among them “The Matador”.
Her work in television is rich and varied from comedy to drama. Among the many prestigious series are “Big Love,” “The Affair,” “How to Make it in America,” and more recently “The Morning Show.” Carole expanded her creative skills by editing two Animated features: “The Little Prince” directed by Mark Osborne and “Entergalactic” directed by Fletcher Moules, currently up for an Emmy award for Outstanding Animated Program.
