Nominated for Best Documentary Feature at the Academy Awards, Amazon Studios' Time follows Fox Rich fighting for the release of her husband, Rob G. Rich, who is serving a 60-year sentence for a robbery they both committed in a moment of desperation. Combining the video diaries Fox has recorded for Rob over the years with intimate glimpses of her present-day life, the film paints a mesmerizing portrait of the flaws of the American justice system as well as Fox's resilience and radical love necessary to prevail over the endless separation.
Editor Gabriel Rhodes won the 2021 Cinema Eye Honors Award for Outstanding Achievement in Editing, recognizing his incredible work on the documentary. We spoke with Rhodes about editing the film remotely during the pandemic, why Premiere Pro was the right choice, and where he draws his creative inspiration.

How and where did you first learn to edit?I moved to San Francisco after college and I knew that I wanted to be a filmmaker, but I had no idea if I would specialize in a craft. I sort of lucked into a job managing a small post-production house in Berkeley and the owner allowed me to use the Avid systems for free at night. I'd always been somewhat computer savvy, so at first I was drawn to the technology. But I started to meet editors who were bringing projects through and I really clicked with a lot of them on a personal level. I saw that editing was really where the film - especially documentaries - found their form. So, I started selling myself as an editor for projects that wanted to rent Avid time but couldn't really afford editors. And I basically learned as I went.
How do you begin a project/set up your workspace?My first step in starting a project is to educate myself about the topic as much as possible. I read books, articles, listen to podcasts - whatever I can do to understand the story that I'll be helping to craft. I then watch all the footage and I use markers to make note of anything that intrigues me. If it's interview material, I'll usually transcribe the soundbite onto the marker note, which really helps to imprint it in my mind. Those markers then become the foundation for building the initial cut.

Tell us about a favorite scene or moment from this project and why it stands out to you.About an hour into the film, there's a scene where Rob calls Fox from prison and we listen to their conversation. I love this scene because it starts out with Fox being playful and by the end of the scene she's moved to tears. When Fox hangs up, she reflects on how her twins are turning 18 and they've never known what it's like to have a father in the house. This moment serves as the transition point to jump to archival footage of Fox visiting the twins at school on their 5th birthday. It's an emotionally powerful marriage of the present-day footage and the archival.
What were some specific post-production challenges you faced that were unique to your project? How did you go about solving them?Garrett and I worked remotely for almost the entire edit. This was before the pandemic made working remotely a norm, so we developed workarounds that seem archaic now, but they worked for us. For example, when we were fine cutting, we would export frames for reference while facetiming one another, asking, Stop on this frame? and No, let's roll forward 3 more frames and stop on this one.
What Adobe tools did you use on this project and why did you originally choose them? Why were they the best choice for this project?We used Adobe Premiere Pro and it was the perfect tool because Garrett needed to have her hands on the edit and she's very comfortable with Premiere Pro. We were working with so many formats, aspect ratios and frame rates as well, and Premiere Pro allows you to easily integrate all these sources into one timeline.
What do you like about Premiere Pro, and/or any of the other tools you used?One of my favorite things about Premiere Pro are the forums for problem solving and for learning new edit techniques. I feel like the Premiere Pro community is actively engaged in figuring out new and exciting ways to use the software and I love being able to interact with other users in forums to explore ideas and inspirations.
