— which documents the life of Fox Rich, a woman raising her six sons while fighting for her husband's prison release — has collected a string of honors, including Sundance's documentary directing prize, the Los Angeles Film Critics Association award for best documentary, and LAFCA's runner-up recognition for Gabriel Rhodes' editing.
Rhodes' final edit lyrically crosscuts between the past and present, combining those home videos with roughly 70 hours of newly lensed cinematography about Fox's current life."It was a really fast edit; Garrett is really efficient in how she shoots. A lot of times you come in to documentaries and you have 800 hours [of footage], and the story is in there somewhere," says Rhodes, 48, whose credits include the 2018 biographical documentary, exploring the life of rapper M.I.A.
Poignant moments included video recordings of Fox's phone conversations with Rob."They were really joyful, loving, very emotional," says Rhodes."Lots of times she would break down on camera, crying. You could see how invested she was in waiting for his return." In the end, Rob was released from prison in September 2018, though that wasn't a certainty when Bradley first met Fox in 2016 and began to plan the film, which initially was conceived as a short.
