#OnEditing: 'The editor is always right.' The corollary is that no writer will take all of his or her editor's advice; for all have sinned and fallen short of editorial perfection. ~ @StephenKing 'On Writing - A Memoir of the Craft' #thecurrentread #writtenintransit
“In many ways editing is trying to understand the director's vision and then to surprise the director by going further than their vision.”

“I love to tell stories… editing is
the great moment when I can
bring back ideas and realize
the movie for the last time
before I hand it to the audience.”

“…while I'm shooting, I'm searching for something. Then, in the editing, it becomes like sculpting. Editing is the process I enjoy the most.“

“I definitely in filmmaking more and more find writing and directing a means to harvest material for editing. It's all about editing.“
"I don't care what the audience says they want changed. I never listen to that.
What I look for is: did they understand what was happening?
If they didn't understand something then we've got a problem that maybe we can fix in the edit"
— Phil Alden Robinson (Field of Dreams)
