Cut+Run's Stacy Peterson Edits Kaiser Permanente's "Above The Waves"
May. 18, 2020
“Above the Waves" is a short film for Kaiser Permanente that follows Golden State Warriors’ All-Star Klay Thompson on his mental and physical road to recovery from a torn ACL that occurred during the 2019 championship series. Edited by Cut+Run’s Stacy Peterson and directed by Tool of North America's Floyd Russ for Translation, the 6-minute film is a personal recounting of what it takes to become a champion and the dedication and will it takes to heal.
Klay’s story - about perseverance, patience, and prioritizing mental and physical health despite great obstacles - is something many of us can relate to and be inspired by right now.
Editor Stacy Peterson comments:
“Above the Waves has been a labor of love. I've worked with director Floyd Russ many times, and he always brings a distinct point of view, and an element of surprise to his projects. There is always an idea that catches me off guard in the best possible way. The team from Translation was also a dream to work with and their enthusiasm for the film was contagious. Plus we are all are huge sports fans, which made the edit process one of the most fun experiences I've had to date.”
