GEORGIA DODSON

Born and raised in Appalachia, Georgia has always been a storyteller at heart.  She discovered her love of film editing with Matt Lenski's short "Meaning of Robots," which premiered at Sundance, screened at MoMA's New Directors/New Films, and shaped her decade-long career in docustyle commercials. 

As a graduate of the College of William and Mary with a degree in English Literature, Georgia’s strength as an editor comes from her background as a writer.  She is accustomed to telling succinct stories on tight deadlines.  Her first feature documentary, Underplayed, edited and co-written with director Stacey Lee, premiered at Toronto International Film Festival in September 2020.  She recently locked cut on the Disney Original Documentary Madu, directed by Oscar-nominee Matt Ogens and Joel 'Kachi Benson, to be released in 2024, and is currently editing a documentary series for Netflix.

Georgia is located in Los Angeles, but can work for you anywhere.  She enjoys black coffee, estate sales, and Murder, She Wrote.
