About

Closing out a week of documentary here on IN HER LENS! This short series is an addition to BK Library & New York History Day 2022's "Creating Documentaries & Unearthing Archives" streaming now online.


Jason Pollard (he/him) is a producer and editor of documentaries, short films, music videos, and commercials. His involvement in the film industry began when he was a young child joining his father, acclaimed film producer/editor Sam Pollard. He's edited many acclaimed documentary films including “Sing Your Song” which premiered at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival, “Burn, MF, Burn," "Who Killed Malcom X?", and most recently - "Bitchin': The Sound and Fury of Rick James." In this episode, Jason talks about his style of editing. He explains the more technical side of working with archives (both where to find them & how they are collected in big scale projects) and how to properly work with still images vs moving images. 


New York History Day is a regional contest for National History Day - a program that provides over half a million students each year the opportunity to excel at historical research, interpretation and creative expression. "Creating Documentaries & Unearthing Archives" was executive produced by Shirley Brown-Alleyne. Produced by Tal Yarden. Special thanks to Charles Rudoy and Sonya Ochshorn. Presented by Center for Brooklyn History Education.


Note: these interviews were conducted in December 2021.
