Dina Guttmann and Toby Shimin started Dovetail Films in 2001. We edit character driven documentary films and are passionate about the art of storytelling. Whether working together or separately, the collaborative process—both with our clients and each other—drives our work.

Together, we had the honor and joy of co-editing the documentary, The Man Without a Mask for The New Yorker Presents, the true story behind the 2023 scripted film Cassandro. Both films were directed by Roger Ross Williams.
