With large amounts of footage and ever-evolving plot points, tackling story in non-scripted production can be a daunting task. Drawing on their vast experience, a panel of Canada’s leading story editors will discuss finding story in the editing suite. To help producers prepare and tackle their next non-scripted project, panelists will share details of the roadblocks they’ve faced, problem-solving techniques they’ve developed, and what it takes to form compelling story in post-production.

Moderated by Jean Parsons (Vice-President, Unscripted Development, Lark Productions), the panel includes:

Dinae Robinson (Writer, Producer, Taken)

Margot Daley (Story Editor, The Great Canadian Baking Show, Love It or List It Vacation Homes)
