TONY HALE (WRITER/EDITOR) is a documentary editor and filmmaker based in Brooklyn, NY. As a kid, Tony discovered a joy for editing while making music by recording percussion and mixing it with found sounds. Years later, while pursuing a Mathematics degree at Boston College and working at a media lab at Harvard University, he rediscovered that passion in film editing. Now, having worked as a documentary film editor since 2005, he continues to enjoy exploring the transformative process of editing as a way to bring the power of non-fiction stories to life. Tony’s feature-length editing work includes award-winning documentaries A WILL FOR THE WOODS(2014, co-editor/co-director), CHARGED: The Eduardo Garcia Story (2017), and AFGHAN CYCLES (2018). In addition to winning awards at festivals such as Full Frame and Seattle International, his films have screened at Hot Docs, AFI DOCS, Mountainfilm, Camden, and many more; played nationally on PBS and Al Jazeera America; and been centered in educational and grassroots screening campaigns. His short film work includes several environmental justice and conservation documentaries, an Emmy-winning TV special, and films published by The New York Times and The New Yorker.
