Elissa Mintz (Editor, Additional Videography)
Elissa is a freelance
videographer and editor and produces videos for GrowingWisdom.com. In
2005 she ventured into documentary filmmaking with a short piece
called All Night Long: Zydeco in New England. She is a former
software technical writer with experience creating interactive online
training materials. She can still remember the day when, as a
teenager, she saw The Seven Samurai on a Janus Films/public television
program and realized the world would be alright someday. She received
the same information reading the passionate writings of film critic
Pauline Kael, who, in Elissa's cosmology, is definitely a principal
deity, if not the Supreme Being Herself. A love of traditional musics
and dance keeps her occupied when she's not shooting or editing.
Elissa has a B.A. in English Literature from Wellesley
College.
