I WANNA DANCE WITH SOMEBODY editor Daysha Broadway, ACE returns to The Rough Cut podcast with both an Emmy® in hand for her work on HBO’S A BLACK LADY SKETCH SHOW and her first feature film as an editor. A Los Angeles native, Daysha began her career with a Master’s Degree in Film Editing from Dodge College of Film and Media Arts at Chapman University. Prior to her feature editing debut, Daysha had spent most of her career editing documentary, scripted, and unscripted television. In addition to A BLACK LADY SKETCH SHOW, her TV credits include numerous shows such as INSECURE, 9-1-1, TWENTIES and BOOMERANG. Daysha has also contributed her talents to documentaries such as LIGHT GIRLS and SURVIVING R. KELLY; the latter of which earned her a Peabody award.
Directed by Kasi Lemmons (EVE’S BAYOU, HARRIET) from a screenplay by Anthony McCarten (BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY), WHITNEY HOUSTON: I WANNA DANCE WITH SOMEBODY is based on the life and career of American pop singer and actress Whitney Houston. Discovered by record executive Clive Davis, Whitney rose from obscurity to international fame in the 1980s to become one of the greatest singers of her generation.
