Karina Buck has been working in radio, television and film for over
three decades, collecting a broad range of experience in both
production and post. She began her career as a broadcast engineer in
the Bay Area. Drawn to the art and craft of storytelling, Karina moved
down to LA and took up editing at PBS affiliate KCET. She spent 5 years
as a staff editor at Editel L.A where she gravitated towards the new
field of "offline editing". There she became an early pioneer of the
"Behind the Scenes" genre, editing many early film marketing
featurettes including "Absence of Malice" and "The Breakfast Club."
After a decade of staff jobs, she spent 5 seasons editing and associate
producing a number of independent films and network dramas, including
the music-driven NBC series, "Fame."
In 1990, Karina founded Genuine Buck Film, a boutique production company specializing in documenting "The Making of" the movies. Since then, she has been writing, producing, and editing innumerable behind-the-scenes documentaries, independent films, and broadcast specials.
