SINNERS

Today on Art of the Cut we speak with Michael Shawver about editing Ryan Coogler’s feature film, Sinners.

Michael’s been on Art of the Cut in the past for his work on Black Panther. His other work includes Abigail, A Quiet Place 2, Creed, and Fruitvale Station. 

This discussion includes - among other things - how the first scripted scene ended up in act 2 while the last scene ended up as the first scene, how therapy can turn you into a better editor, and the artistic challenges of one actor playing two parts.

You can read along with this interview and see stills from the movie, clips and trailers on the BorisFX blog of the same name:
