Meet the Artist Podcast: The Chi Editor Sean Linal

For the latest episode of our Meet the Artist podcast, postPerspective‘s Randi Altman spoke to episodic editor Sean Linal, whose recent credits include Seasons 5 and 6 of Lena Waithe’s series, The Chi, and Season 6 of Ava DuVernay’s series, Queen Sugar. Born and raised in New York, Linal relocated to LA about 20 years ago, but he has not forgotten his roots and what led him to the editing suite. While in high school, Linal joined the NAACP program for the arts and focused on filmmaking. One of his first projects was a short video on homelessness in the subway, and it won a variety of awards. He also joined a community center, run by Geoffrey Canada, that had a video class where high school kids were able to write, shoot and edit their own material, which only cemented his love for the process.
