Editor - Otto Burnham Editor Otto Burnham took on the job for SUPER/MAN: THE CHRISTOPHER REEVE STORY knowing that he wouldn't be lacking for source material on his subject.  Rather, the challenge would lie in processing the countless hours of material from Reeve's work and his life to find the real superhero within. Directed by Ian Bonhôte and Peter Ettedgui, who co-wrote the script with Otto, SUPER/MAN: THE CHRISTOPHER REEVE STORY is an intimate view into the life of actor Christopher Reeve.  The film chronicles his rise to stardom upon landing the role of Superman in the 1970's, as well as the dramatic turn his life takes when a horse-riding accident leaves him paralyzed in 1995.  Through home movies and interviews with those closest to Reeve, the audience is shown a side of this super man they've never seen before. Otto Burnham In his own words, award-winning (ACE Eddie, Emmy® and RTS) editor Otto Burnham describes himself as, "comfortable with the story telling and creative demands of broadcast TV, feature documentary, commercials and music videos. I love collaborating on films which focus on dramatic, emotional stories or difficult, challenging topics.  With every project, I bring a high level of speed, skill and enthusiasm to my work.  I have also shot and directed my own work and cut an award-winning feature documentary in my spare time".
