VIDEO - Editor Joe Schuck on the Use of Interviews in the hit Reality T.V. show "Alaskan Bush People"




Editor Joe Schuck discusses the use of interviews in Discovery's "Alaskan Bush People." From "Sight, Sound & Story" on June 13th, 2015.

For the past two seasons, Joe Schuck has been editing Discovery Channel's hit show "Alaskan Bush People." He also served as editor on the first season of "Best Funeral Ever." Other projects that Joe served as assistant editor on include MTV's "True Life," A&E's "The First 48," Oxygen's "Jersey Couture," Discovery Life's "Facing Trauma," as well as several years at MLB.com as a Senior Game Night Editor. He is a graduate of the New York Institute of Technology, where he majored in Communication Arts specializing in Film and Video. Joe is also an alumni of Manhattan Edit Workshop's Six Week Intensive workshop, as well as a former Apple certified editing instructor.


"Alaskan Bush People" is a journey deep into Alaska's bush, where naturalist and adventurer Billy Brown, along with his wife, Ami, and their seven children, chooses to live life on his own terms, connected to wild nature and bonded to each other. The family of nine strives to be self-sufficient against all odds- often shunning modern society to live off the wilderness and to walk where no man has ever walked before. After the tragic death of his parents and sister that left him orphaned at 16, Billy Brown vowed to live life on his own terms and create his own family to reclaim the love that he lost. With Ami by his side, Billy traveled the lower 48 states and eventually found home in the sprawling landscape of the last frontier, where they have spent most of the last 30 years raising their children. "Our family is doing what is natural for human beings to do. We survive on what we hunt, fish, trap and barter for," Brown says. "We explore, we wander, we live. If you think about it, it's the life we were meant to live."
