For me, story happens through the actors’ performances. I love cutting montage sequences. I love building sound beds. I love finding the perfect piece of music to score underneath that emotional beat. But it’s the moments between the lines — what the characters are not saying — that truly engage an audience. Those are the moments I love to edit the most.
SOME THINGS ABOUT ME:
-My taste is for high-concept stories that are about something more — something that shines a light on human nature.
-I have an assistant — “Doctor”, my wire-haired Dachshund. He’s not very fast, however.
-I’m a “sit-on-a-beach with a cocktail” vacationer rather than a “hiking-DO-EVERYTHING” one.
-I hate snakes.
