Gibney and Ellwood have collaborated on a number of uniquely American films over the past decade, including Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room and Gonzo: The Life and Work of Dr. Ellwood is a New York and Massachusetts-based editor who frequently works in conjunction with Gibney’s Jigsaw Productions.
I had a chance to chat with the editor of Casino Jack, Alison Ellwood, who also shares producing credits on this film. Gibney picked up a Best Documentary Oscar for Taxi to the Dark Side in 2008. The work of award-winning director Alex Gibney, Casino Jack chronicles the rise and fall of notorious Washington lobbyist Jack Abramoff. One of this year’s documentary films with legitimate Sundance buzz is Casino Jack and the United States of Money.
