Jason Pollard Editor

Jason Pollard’s involvement in the film industry began as a young child when he accompanied his father, acclaimed film producer/editor Sam Pollard, to different edit rooms as Sam magically turned strips of celluloid into complex and wonderful stories. He graduated from the Tisch School of the Arts with a BA in Film/TV and an MA in Cinema Studies. Since graduating, he has worked his way up from working on documentary films and TV series to editing many acclaimed documentary films, including 2007’s Pete Seeger: The Power of Song, Sing Your Song, which premiered at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival, Slavery By Another Name, which premiered at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival and the Netflix documentary Get Me Roger Stone which premiered at the 2017 Tribeca Film Festival. Since then, he has edited on doc-series like Who Killed Malcolm X? and Rapture for Netflix and worked with Henry Louis Gates on his Black Church and Black Gospel series for PBS, Byron Hurt’s Lee and Liza’s Family Tree for PBS/NOVA, co/edited Louis Armstrong’s Black and Blues for Apple TV, and co-produced, co-directed, and co-edited Ol’ Dirty Bastard: The Tale of Two Dirtys for A/E.
