Background

About Georgia B. Dodson

Born and raised in Appalachia, Georgia has always been a storyteller at heart. She discovered her love of documentary film editing with Matt Lenski's short Meaning of Robots, which premiered at Sundance, screened at MoMA's New Directors/New Films, and shaped her decade-long career in docustyle commercials. As a graduate of the College of William and Mary with a degree in English Literature, Georgia’s strength as an editor comes from her background as a writer. She is accustomed to telling succinct stories on tight deadlines. ​Georgia's first feature documentary, Underplayed, edited and co-written with director Stacey Lee, premiered at Toronto International Film Festival in September 2020. She edited the Disney Original Documentary Madu, directed by Oscar-nominee Matt Ogens and Joel 'Kachi Benson, which was nominated for Best TV Feature Documentary at the 40th Annual International Documentary Association Awards in 2024, and for Outstanding Arts & Culture Documentary at the 46th News & Documentary Emmy Awards in 2025. Other recent projects include Dirty Pop: The Boy Band Scam directed by David Terry Fine, which debuted on Netflix at #1, and a true crime series directed by Dani Sloane from Executive Producer Erin Lee Carr, to be released on Hulu in 2025.​An ex-New Yorker, Georgia is located in Los Angeles, but can work for you anywhere. She enjoys black coffee, estate sales, and Murder, She Wrote marathons.
