Today, we're speaking with the editors of the fantastic documentary, Roadrunner: A Film About Anthony Bourdain, which examines the life and death of the world-famous chef and author. The film was directed by Morgan Neville, who also directed the Fred Rogers documentary, Won't You Be My Neighbor?
The editors of Roadrunner are Eileen Meyer and Aaron Wickenden, and I've had them both on Art of the Cut in the past—Eileen for Crip Camp, and Aaron for a doc called Hail Satan.
Eileen's other editing work includes Best of Enemies: Buckley vs. Vidal, Alabama Bound, and Television Event. And she was an additional editor on Clive Davis: The Soundtrack of Our Lives. Her TV work includes an episode of The First 48 and the documentary mini-series The Devil Next Door.
Aaron's worked with Eileen before on both Best of Enemies and Television Event. His filmography also includes The Trials of Muhammad Ali, the Orson Welles documentary They'll Love Me When I'm Dead, the aforementioned Fred Rogers documentary Won't You Be My Neighbor? and the Michelle Obama documentary Becoming. Also episodes of Frontline and POV.
