“One of the good things is the relationship between director and editor used to be more contentious. Studios used to leave directors alone more during the post production process and now they're clamoring to get in.

When we realize that a perfect equilibrium in our lives might not be the best basis for making art, then we can begin to re-vision our stress points.
