In 2005, Suki Hawley edited two films for other directors. "American Cannibal," directed by Perry Grebin and Michael Nigro, is meta-meta theater; it's directed reality about the reality of the biz behind reality shows. Television figures such as "The Daily Show" co-creator Lizz Winstead are interviewed: "If the lowest common denominator was a muscle, it could kick the shit out of everything else."

Early in 2005, Suki Hawley was enlisted to re-edit the film "Mardi Gras: Made in China," directed by David Redmon. The film follows the bead trail to find out who makes Mardi Gras beads and at what cost.

a&e television

2003-1 - 2005-1 · 2 yrs 1 mo

A gritty, video-shot documentary, "Miami Manhunt" plays like a smart cross between "CSI: Miami" and the spate of crime-oriented reality television programs permeating the airwaves. But the compelling story line, involving the notorious case of a serial rapist in Miami, and the filmmakers' skill at examining the subject from various viewpoints, gives it an original quality that elevates the film to a whole new level.

In 1999, Suki Hawley and partner Michael Galinsky embarked on their first documentary production. The resulting "Horns and Halos" - about a controversial writer and the young publisher of a discredited bio of GW Bush - is neither a partisan attack on the president nor straight-faced reportage, but a thoughtful portrait of a screwed-up man who dares to mess with some powerful people, seen through the eyes of the idealistic kid who chooses to champion his ultimately losing cause.
