Sam Pollard, long-timer editor for Spike Lee, will host a workshop on editing and other aspects of film-making  at Scribe Video Center (4035 Walnut St.) on Wednesday, July 19 at 7 pm.

Pollard will discuss his work as an editor and "delve into the process of working as a director and with the editors in shaping a story into a documentary." Tickets are $20 for the general public, $10 for Scribe members.

Pollard has been a professional editor since 1978, and first worked with Lee in 1990 on Mo Better Blues.
