Reviews

“A beautifully curated, very thorough look at the art and process of film editing. It was enlightening to see how my colleagues - editors and assistants at the top of their game - work through the daily challenges and discover creative solutions to telling cinematic stories. I learned a lot.” Eddie Hamilton, ACE (editor of Top Gun: Maverick, Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning, and The Kingsman: Secret Service) “In ART OF THE CUT, Steve amasses such an arsenal of advice, it reminds me of something I was lucky enough to experience as an assistant: a corridor of benevolent editors, sharing wisdom borne of decades.” Joe Walker, ACE, (Oscar-winning editor of Dune, Bladerunner 2049, Arrival) “A beautifully curated, very thorough look at the art and process of film editing.

Highest recommendation.""

All those who appreciate the art and science of film editing will cherish this book."" Tom Cross, ACE (Oscar-winning editor, films include Whiplash, La La Land and No Time to Die)"
