“
As a P.A. on the set I saw maybe fifty people collaborating together and in the editing room I saw there were just two-the editor and the director. I realized in that room there was a direct, undiluted way to have a significant influence in the filmmaking process.
It’s like an hourglass, the wide part on top is production, then it funnels through the editing room, then it opens up again for sound, visual effects, music and finishing. I liked the idea of being in that narrow spot where every detail of the film passes through.
