BIO

Jesse D. Goldstein is an award-winning documentary film editor whose work has been featured by PBS, Discovery, The New York Times, and ESPN and has been shown at 50+ festivals around the world. He is known for his intimate and immersive approach to editing, specializing in raw, vérité-style films. Notable projects include "Rocket to Venus (2026), "Squeegee" (2024), and "The Body Politic" (2023), an Academy Award-qualifying feature-length documentary. 

Jesse earned his B.A. in Communications & Media Studies from Goucher College and an M.A. in Emerging Media from Loyola University Maryland. Despite this, he firmly believes degrees are very silly and not representative of very much at all. He currently resides in NYC with his partner.
