BIO

Jennifer Dunnington’s introduction to music editing began as a young dancer when she edited film scores to use with her choreography.  This kinetic connection to music continues to be a strong influence in her approach to film music editing.
 
Her film career began with the documentarian Ken Burns, working on many of his projects, including “Baseball”, “Thomas Jefferson”, and “Jazz”. She has enjoyed returning to her documentary roots editing the music for Martin Scorsese’s “George Harrison:  Living in a Material World”, “No Direction Home: Bob Dylan” and for Alex Gibney’s “Sinatra: All or Nothing at All”.
 
Jennifer has worked with Scorsese since 2002 on such films as “Gangs of New York”, “The Aviator”, “The Departed”, “Shutter Island”, “Hugo”, “The Wolf of Wall Street” and “Silence”.  
 
She worked alongside composer Howard Shore on several of the Scorsese projects as well as many others – from David Cronenberg’s “Spider”, “A History of Violence”, “Eastern Promises” and “Maps to the Stars” to John Patrick Shanley’s “Doubt”, Tom McCarthy’s “Spotlight”, and Peter Jackson’s “The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring” and “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey”.
 
Jennifer collaborated with director Rob Marshall on his two most recent musicals – “Into the Woods” (Stephen Sondheim – music and lyrics) and with composer Marc Shaiman on “Mary Poppins Returns”.
 
She has worked with composer Mychael Danna on various projects including “Vanity Fair” (Mira Nair), “Capote” (Bennett Miller), “Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk” (Ang Lee) and most recently, “After the Wedding” (Bart Freundlich).
 
Other composer collaborations include Marcelo Zarvos (“Hollywoodland” - Allen Coulter), (“What Just Happened?” and “You Don’t Know Jack” - Barry Levinson) (“Taking Chance” - Ross Katz),  Evgueni Galperine and Sacha Galperine (“The Wizard of Lies” - Barry Levinson), and Jeff Tweedy (“Chelsea Walls” - Ethan Hawke).
 
She is currently working on Martin Scorsese’s “The Irishman”.
