Process
“Cut too early and you lose the performance; cut too late and you lose the energy. Great editing comes from discovering the rhythm that's already in the scene, not imposing one onto it.”
“I respect the script, but I also respect the footage because it's the only truth the audience will ever experience. My job is to discover the performance while honoring the writer's intent and the director's vision.”
