BT 2018 | Susan Korda | "Kill Your Darlings"

“Good editing is like good sex,” exclaims editor and director Susan Korda (One of Us). “You create an expectation in your audience - and then you fulfil it.” Tracing finished film scenes from Bonnie and Clyde and Jaws back to the initial “Oh, shit!” experience in the editing room, Korda reveals how the magic of courageous editing can create a gratifying cinematic experience from what initially appears to be a failure. Sharing tools learnt from Walter Murch and Michael Rabiger, she lays bare secrets of the editing room and demonstrates how to “kill your darlings,” the critical ability to surrender preconceived preferences, allowing your film to discover you.
