Mary collaborated with French New Wave director Eric Rohmer for more than 25 years editing and co-composing music, from being assistant to his then-editor Cécile Décugis to editing Rohmer’s films from Winter’s Tale (1991) to his last feature The Romance Of Astrea and Celadon (2007). In the past decade Mary has worked with independent filmmakers and producers in France, China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Turkey, Australia and Canada, editing, associate-producing and coaching narrative drama and documentaries. She has also edited short films and coached animation and experimental projects. Mary continues her own filmmaking as well as guest-lectures and participates in juries, workshops, symposiums, universities and film schools.
