Cindy Mollo, ACE

 After graduating from Boston College, Cindy Mollo, ACE, began her career editing local commercials and industrial videos in Boston.  She soon moved to New York where she got the opportunity to edit the critically acclaimed dramas “Homicide: Life on the Street,” and “Oz” for producers Barry Levinson and Tom Fontana.  She cut five seasons of “Homicide” and many TV pilots before deciding to move to Los Angeles. 

Once in LA, she was able to branch out into features including “The Book of Eli” starring Denzel Washington, directed by The Hughes Brothers; the HBO films “Path to Paradise” and “Boycott”; and “Broken City” directed by Allen Hughes and starring Russell Crowe and Mark Wahlberg.  She also cut Allen Hughes’ segment of the anthology film “New York, I Love You.”  Other feature credits include “Panic,” “The Sentinel,” “Texas Killing Fields,” “The Breakup Girl,” and “Juanita.”

Cindy’s plan has always been to “follow the writing” and that has led her to some of the best shows on television: “Ozark,” “House of Cards,” “Mad Men,” and most recently “The Last of Us” for HBO.  She was thrilled to work for David Milch on “John from Cincinnati” and to be a part of the editorial team on the “Deadwood” movie.  

 She’s been nominated for the Emmy award five times and the American Cinema Editors’ Eddie award three times.  During the Covid lock down in 2020, Cindy won the Eddie for her work on the “Wartime” episode of “Ozark.”  She also edited a feature length documentary about the performer P!nk called “All I Know So Far” that year.  The doc was edited from her home, and she never met many of her collaborators in person.

Cindy feels so lucky to have worked with so many amazing producers, writers, and directors through the years.  She thinks editing is a great career and loves to talk about it every chance she gets!
