Gail Huddleson is an Emmy nominated documentary editor.  Most recently, she edited Jon Else’s Land of Gold, which will premiere at the 2021 Telluride Film Festival.  The film weaves the story of the making of an opera about the Gold Rush with the buried history of that era.

Gail has been editing long and short form documentaries for over twenty years.  She has an eye for human behavior, and a love of music.  She has edited films on subjects as diverse as the writings of Michael Pollan, transracial parenting, the history of medieval Spain, the life of Muhammad, Parkinson’s patients who dance, and the celebrated marine biologist, Sylvia Earle. 

Her credits include:  The Botany of Desire, Capturing Grace, In Defense of Food, Frontline’s My Father, My Brother, and Me, Paperback Dreams, and The Ornament of the World. 

Gail earned a Master’s degree from the Stanford University Documentary Film program, where she received the Guild Award in Documentary from the Princess Grace Foundation for her thesis film.  She lives in San Francisco’s Excelsior district with her husband and daughter, who is a walking reminder of the power of creativity and story.
