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. My surreal short art film Two Waves will premier in spring 2025. I am also developing other creative ideas which have been quietly simmering and need to get out into the world. Later in 2025 I will be editing an important feature documentary called Whiddy, for Curious Dog Films.
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.
