Biography

Dava Whisenant's first feature, the acclaimed musical comedy "Bathtubs Over Broadway," earned her the Best Director award at the Tribeca Film Festival, a WGA Award for Best Documentary Screenplay, and a nomination for ACE editing. With over twenty years of experience as an editor, producer, and story consultant, Whisenant's recent projects include Kim Reed's "I'm Your Venus" (Netflix), XTR's music documentary on songwriting legend Diane Warren (Masterclass), and the Emmy-nominated Netflix documentary "Butterfly in the Sky" from Reading Rainbow.

Whisenant won an Emmy for her work on Nat Geo's "The Flagmakers" and edited and produced Sam Pollard's "Two Trains Runnin'," which was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Music Film. Her other music documentary credits feature Focus Features' 3D rave film "Under the Electric Sky" (Sundance Film Festival) and an American Masters documentary about country music icon Merle Haggard. She is a member of American Cinema Editors (ACE), the Writers Guild of America (WGA), the Television Academy, and Film Fatales.

Whether working on documentaries or narratives, Dava's signature style is characterized by warmth, humor, and a dedication to serving the story. Her varied background includes roles as Supervising Producer for BBC Worldwide, editing assistant to Steven Soderbergh, and several years as an editor for the "Late Show with David Letterman.
