Cody is a two-time Emmy-Nominated documentary film & television editor, producer and storyteller. She has been in the industry for 18 years, but the past 16 have been spent working exclusively as an offline editor. This has given her extensive post experience with vérité, archive, hosted reality, multi-camera sound stage shoots, dramatic recreations, as well as Foley sound design and music composition. In 2006, she spent over a year editing in an online finishing department, broadening her technical skill-set as well as sharpening her attention to aesthetic detail. Over the years, Cody has also cut a variety of pilot series and premiere episodes for networks like HBO, HULU, NETFLIX, CNN, MAGNOLIA NETWORK, DISCOVERY+, A&E, HISTORY CHANNEL, NBC, SPIKE, TLC, NICKELODEON, TRAVEL CHANNEL, HGTV, THE FOOD NETWORK and MSNBC. As a result, she has created new looks, standards, and aesthetic templates for some of the top rated networks in television.
In more recent years, Cody has expanded her craft beyond prime time television to include both feature films and short form content, working alongside award-winning documentary directors like Davis Guggenheim, Morgan Spurlock, Liz Garbus, Stephanie Soechtig and Anthony Bourdain. Since 2015, she has worked on multiple documentary features, including VLOGUMENTARY, RATS, SUPERSIZE ME 2, RISE, as well as I AM HUMAN which premiered at Tribeca Film Festival in May of 2019 and has since been the winner of 4 best feature awards. She also has greatly enjoyed working with television development teams, editing several sizzle reels & trailers which were pitched to & successfully green-lit by major networks like SHOWTIME, A&E, PARAMOUNT TV and MSNBC.
Cody brings a positive, easy-going and enthusiastic attitude to the edit room, and whether the task at hand be fast-paced reality, effect-heavy drama, experiential verite or slap-stick comedy, she is always adapting her craft to push the boundaries of today’s most forward styles in narrative content. Her sharp eye for pacing, attentive ear for sound design, and deep appreciation for the art of story telling make her an exceptional addition to any post-production team.
