Join Sundance Collab and BIPOC Doc Editors for an engaging conversation with the edit team of Spermworld, the 2024 documentary feature directed by Lance Oppenheim (Ren Faire, Some Kind of Heaven).

This discussion features the film’s editor and co-writer Daniel Garber, ACE, and co-editor Emily Yue. Together, they’ll delve into the editing process of Spermworld, which premiered at the True/False Film Fest before its March 2024 release on FX. The film takes an eye-opening look at the subculture of men who donate sperm outside the traditional sperm bank system, including individuals who have fathered more than 100 children. Spermworld earned a nomination for Best Nonfiction Film for Broadcast at the 2025 Cinema Eye Honors.

Garber and Yue previously collaborated on the 2023 feature How to Blow Up a Pipeline, on which Garber served as editor and Yue as assistant editor. Garber also won an Independent Spirit Award for Best Editing for his work on the film, and he has previously edited such titles as Daniel Goldhaber’s Cam and Garrett Bradley’s docuseries Naomi Osaka.

This event is part of the “Inside the Edit with BIPOC Doc Editors” series, a program hosted by Sundance Collab in collaboration with BIPOC Doc Editors. Don’t miss this chance to explore the craft of documentary editing with industry leaders.
