My Best Work as (Mostly) an Editor
"When I realized I'd be laid off (via: restructuring) from the publication I've worked at for 11+ years, I went back through the print archives to round up work I was proud of as an interviewer and commissioning editor. It holds up better than I hoped: I came out swinging in my second print issue with what I'm reasonably sure was the first non-video, written-out English-language interview with Roberto Minervini for Stop the Pounding Heart;"
"Andrew Bujalski, Ulrich Köhler, Eduardo Williams, Alexander Nanau, Adirley Quierós and Joana Pimenta), two cover stories ( Justine Triet, RaMell Ross), a brisk but serviceable walkthrough with Fabrice Aragno about the 3D tech of Goodbye to Language and my only interview with an editor, Jennifer Lame, for Manchester by the Sea; my last full print interview was with one of my formative filmmakers, Wes Anderson, as good a stopping point as any."
A layoff via restructuring prompted a return to print archives to collect work across 11+ years as an interviewer and commissioning editor. The collection includes an early non-video English-language interview with Roberto Minervini for Stop the Pounding Heart and coverage of his subsequent film The Other Side. The archive features European arthouse interviews, geographically diverse filmmakers poised for canonization, two cover stories on Justine Triet and RaMell Ross, a technical walkthrough of the 3D work in Goodbye to Language, and an editor interview with Jennifer Lame about Manchester by the Sea. The archive also holds profiles from 25 New Faces of Independent Film and a decade-long annual index of 35mm productions. Gratitude is expressed to Scott Macaulay for hiring and editorial freedom.
