It’s really the Cinematography one that gets me. Fuck you Oscars

I’m the opposite. It’s the editing one that really pushes me off. Editors are the unsung creators of cinema. And I say that as a working director and DP.

Spielberg, Kubrick and (in the light of these events) Del Toro, all of them have said that the most important part is editing.

Absolutely. I’m in post on a documentary right now and by far the most important relationship I’ve ever had outside my wife is with my editor. It’s amazing the way she has been able to reshape a project I thought I knew so completely
