The Healthy Edit is just what the doctor ordered! The analogy of the film editor as `doctor' is a fresh view into the complexities and vagaries of film editing. Rosenberg serves up hefty doses of ideas about structure, rhythm, pace and timing. Essential tools to diagnose and treat any `patient.' It is a perfect prescription for success! -Duwayne Dunham, Editor, Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of The Jedi (1983), Blue Velvet (1986), Wild at Heart (1990), Twin Peaks (1990-1991, 2017) John Rosenberg is a remarkable teacher of the art of editing. So many USC students have benefited from his knowledge and experience. I am thrilled to see him share his insights beyond our campus so that many aspiring filmmakers can benefit. -Elizabeth M. Daley, Dean, USC School of Cinematic Arts John is a wonderful writer who captures the process of a master editor. With great insight into the interplay of cinematic storytelling and human psychology, he offers example after example of the challenges faced by films of every stripe and size. Using our common life experiences to illustrate why some choices work and others don't, John gets us to where the real magic happens - when the film takes on a life of its own. I highly recommend this book to students, teachers and professionals - whether editors, directors, writers, cinematographers, producers, anyone in every creative craft. -Jason Rosenfield, ACE John Rosenberg's discussions of genre-in particular, his take on the always-difficult practice of comedy editing-and how to manipulate time, are just two examples of the value of this book. His experience and his ability to craft words both contribute to a wonderful book that every student of cinema can learn from. -Norman Hollyn, Author, Speaker, Professor and Inaugural Holder, Michael Kahn Endowed Chair in Editing, USC School of Cinematic Arts
