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.
