Ultra-Marathoner is a documentary chronicling Kevin Langton, a long-distance runner, and his struggles with chemical dependency. The editing challenge was to decide on the story to tell. Hours of video and photographs to go through, and the interview segments discuss many topics, from the physical damage done to a runner's body, the recalled experiences of each race, the writing of his book, or the substance abuse and sobriety angle. In the end, I decided the story was the emotional angle of Kevin's struggles with addiction, and how he keeps them in check through running extreme length races. And I edited the story together in a way that, hopefully, grabs the viewer emotionally, as well as showcases his book.
