about

Mollie Goldstein is an editor working in narrative, documentary, and television. Her first feature was Palindromes, for director Todd Solondz, which appeared at the Venice, New York, Telluride, and Toronto Film Festivals and was distributed by Wellspring.

Most recently, Mollie edited Murderball director Dana Adam Shapiro's first narrative feature, Monogamy, starring Chris Messina and Rashida Jones, which won Best New York Narrative at this year's Tribeca Film Festival and will be released by Oscilloscope Laboratories. She also worked as an additional editor on The Virginity Hit, directed by Huck Butko and Andrew Gurland and produced by Adam McKay and Will Ferrell.

Mollie's other narrative credits include Noah Buschel's The Missing Person, starring Oscar-nominees Michael Shannon (Revolutionary Road) and Amy Ryan (Gone Baby Gone, The Office). The Missing Person premiered at Sundance and was distributed by Strand Releasing, earning a Gotham Award nomination for Breakthrough Director for Buschel. The New York Times described the film as "oddly irresistible...Mr. Shannon's clenched, traumatized performance is a marvel." Mollie also cut Buschel's previous film, Neal Cassady, which starred Tate Donovan and was distributed by IFC.

Mollie also works extensively in comedy. She edited the Comedy Central series Stella, which was starring, written and produced by Michael Ian Black, Michael Showalter, and David Wain (formerly of The State). Directors on Stella included Zoolander screenwriter John Hamburg and Charles Herman-Wurmfeld, the director of Kissing Jessica Stein. After Stella, Mollie co-edited (with Alan Oxman) Michael Ian Black's debut feature, Wedding Daze, which starred Isla Fisher (Wedding Crashers), Jason Biggs (American Pie), and Joe Pantoliano (The Matrix). Wedding Daze screened at the Toronto Film Festival and was distributed by MGM in the US and Pathe in the UK. Mollie also worked as an additional editor on the pilot for the Comedy Central series, Important Things with Demetri Martin, which was executive produced by Jon Stewart.

Mollie's nonfiction credits include Hotel Gramercy Park, which won a Special Jury Prize at the 2008 Tribeca Film Festival and was singled out by IndieWire as "among those most outstanding of the doc offerings...a model of rhythmic doc editing and mis-en-scene, with colliding story lines that create sparks as they document seismic shifts in the New York City scene." The first documentary feature Mollie cut, Home, was praised by the New York Times as a "marvelously revealing documentary" that "brilliantly illuminates the invisible damage inflicted by years of deprivation."

Mollie graduated from Yale University with a degree in American Studies & Film Studies. She is represented by Tara Kromer at Prolific Enertainment and is a member of the Editors' Guild, IATSE Local 700.
