World Premiere at Locarno Film Festival
My first venture into editing a feature-length fiction film was an immersive journey. Collaborating closely with director Lucy Kerr, we embarked on a seven-month odyssey, progressing from a rough assembly edit to a meticulously polished final film. As time unfolded, the puzzle pieces gradually fell into place, revealing invaluable lessons.
Throughout this process, I honed my skills in discerning moments of excessive exposition, identifying instances of overacting, and rectifying any disruptions to the film's narrative flow. In the end, our efforts bore fruit, as we successfully crafted an atmosphere where time seemed to stand still, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in the languid stupor of a scorching summer day, where dreams, reality, and memories intertwined seamlessly.
Moreover, I acquired a profound appreciation for the significance of taking breaks from the editing suite. Stepping away and returning with fresh eyes allowed us to perceive subtle nuances and pinpoint areas where a mere few seconds of adjustment could render the transitions utterly imperceptible, elevating the overall cinematic experience.
