“I feel like the job in editing is to let the movie tell you what it is. It's like sculpture. You just start taking away, you add a nose here, you cut off like the side of the cheek over here in the crease and you have a face. But it really reveals to you what it means to be over time, and if you have enough time.” MeanEnoughCutting Author:Derek Cianfrance
“I always say writing is like dreaming, shooting is like living, and editing is like murder, because you take all these gifts that actors give you, and you cut them.” GivingWritingDreamCuttingMurder Author:Derek Cianfrance
“I've had to cut my mom out of a movie before - it's ruthless, editing. But it's also so necessary; because once you start taking away, it's like sculpture, you can really start feeling the shape of the whole.” FeelingsCuttingMomMy Mom Author:Derek Cianfrance
