THE ALTO KNIGHTS

Today on Art of the Cut we speak with Doug Crise, ACE about editing Barry Levinson’s latest film, The Alto Knights.

Doug was nominated for an Oscar and a BAFTA and won an ACE Eddie for Babel. Then was nominated for a BAFTA and an ACE Eddie for Birdman. Also nominated for an Emmy and an ACE Eddie for Dopesick.

This discussion includes - among other things - that value of intercutting scenes that weren’t written to be intercut, building suspense through editing, and the revelation of the film’s original opening scene and why it changed.
