Sonia Gonzalez-Martinez

Thanks for stopping by my ever evolving website. I’m a documentary editor and filmmaker based in New York City. I’ve edited several films for the Independent Lens series: Soul Food Junkies, Spies of Mississippi and Decade of Fire. My other edited work includes: La Madrina: The Savage Life of Lorine Padilla (Showtime), The Captain (ESPN) and Making Black America: Through The Grapevine (PBS). I’ve also edited a wide range of short documentaries for clients such as The New Yorker Magazine, Tribeca Digital Studios and Refinery29. I edit English and Spanish-language content.

I began my career in editing in the analog days (on actual 35mm film!) as an assistant editor for directors Spike Lee, Milos Forman and Robert Redford. I directed my own documentary called Bragging Rights: Stickball Stories, (PBS), about how the NYC game of stickball unified men and built community across color lines. I was also the Co-Creator, Writer and Director on a comedy web series called Get Some!, about high school sweethearts who go out of their way to keep the passion burning in their long marriage.
