Brenda Morrissey
Documentary Editor & Director
Having spent the past twenty something years editing documentaries and collaborating with inspiring people, I am now exploring my own creative ideas which I hope to bring to the screens big or small. My latest work is feature documentary called WHIDDY which I edited and co-directed with Adrian McCarthy of Curious Dog Films. We collaborated with composer Paul Hartnoll of Orbital for the score and we are very exited for it's release later in 2026.
I edited my first documentary in 2001 and my second one in 2002, called Dead Silence, won the prestigious Prix Circom Best European Documentary Award. Since then I have edited a vast crop of critically acclaimed and award winning documentaries and factual series.
In 2013 I won the Irish Film and Television Awards (IFTA) for Best TV Editor and was IFTA nominated for Best TV editing again in 2015. Since then other projects have won awards and nominations and in 2023 I was awarded Best Editor for my work on a documentary called Clodagh by the Toronto International Women in Film Festival.
