Episode #6 - An editor who was a part of post-production teams on multiple Oscar nominated documentary shorts, Gladys Mae Murphy, takes us through 2 films linked by her mentor, legendary editor Geof Bartz. Prison Terminal: The Last Days of Private Jack Hall was the first film she presented, which was made by a small film team she was a part of and was nominated for an Academy Award. Gladys takes us through the director's toils of creating this film about how to handle death in prison. We then lightened the mood with Pumping Iron, a look into the unique world of body building, a fun film centered around a young Arnold Schwarzenegger in his body building prime.
Gladys is an incredibly hard working editor who dives into her projects for months. Much of her work, including Prison Terminal, are featured on HBO's streaming websites.
