ASHES TO ASH
Season 2 Episode 21
Director/Producer/Cinematographer: Ash Patino
Editor: Jenna A. Bush
Ashes to Ash is a true crime docu-series that investigates unsolved murder cases. In this episode, the team traveled Perdido Bay between Florida and Alabama where a supposed "accidental drowning" occurred. They recreate the conditions of the boat trip in question to determine if the suspect's could possibly be true.
Sifting through two days worth of go-pro footage from multiple angles, I pieced together the many recreation attempts into a cohesive story complete with maps and graphics for optimal clarity. I used previous interview footage and audio recordings to draw comparisons between the Ashes to Ash team's results and the official story told to police. The difficult task was finding the gems in the many hours of go-pro footage and identifying parallels in the series to connect everything to the greater story. I then had to devise an organizational structure through which to depict the complicated multiple experiments that would be easy to follow and also exciting and suspenseful to watch.

Christina Seix Academy is an independent school that works toward dismantling of systemic barriers caused by the intersections of race, class, immigration status, and other elements of identity. Children begin as early as five years old and continue through 8th grade. To celebrate their first ever graduating class, the organization commissioned a film highlighting each student.
I was tasked with editing each of the mini student profiles that used throughout the film. For this, I was given the student interviews and some additional b-roll footage. The challenge was getting to know each student through their interviews alone, and creating micro biographical segments that truly encapsulated who they were in that moment.
