'The cutting room is where you learn how to make films, where you face up to your limitations and realise what you should have done. So you'd better have a good relationship with your editor. The people talking here are amongst the best. Treat them well.
Stephen Frears director of Prick up Your Ears, My Beautiful Launderette, Dangerous Liaisons, The Grifters and The Snapper
The editors I know are full of insights and revealing stories about their work - this looks a good read, full of great anecdotes.
