ADE Member Application Form
WELCOME!  

This is the application for the Alliance of Documentary Editors, an all-volunteer collective of professionals working in the documentary editing field.  

First please read our mission statement:
"The Alliance of Documentary Editors (ADE) is a working group of documentary film and television editors and assistant editors nationwide that campaigns for best practices within the industry while improving members’ career sustainability. The ADE promotes a better understanding and acknowledgement of the documentary editor’s unique position as storyteller, writer, and artist, as well as technician. We advocate for better working conditions and codified ethical standards, and champion diversity, inclusivity, and mentorship in documentary post-production."

In short, ADE is a place for those in the documentary editing field to come together to share knowledge, strategize collective action and support each other through the challenges of this unique career.

If this all sounds good to you and you are currently working in documentary as an Editor or Assistant Editor, apply below!  We store member data for internal communication purposes only and will never transfer any information you submit to any third party.  We can scrub your data from our internal systems any time, upon request.

After you fill out this form you will receive an automated email response with instructions on how to sign up for an orientation, which is the last step in becoming a member.

(If you want to join the Alliance of Documentary Editors but are unable to fulfill any step of the process laid out here for any reason, or if you have any other questions or comments, feel free to contact us at ade.membership.committee@gmail.com and we'll get you sorted as soon as possible.)
