In this video, Dylan Tichenor, reveals his approach to editing and POV, sharing key sequences in his films BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN, PHANTOM THREAD, and THERE WILL BE BLOOD that illuminate his process as the Editor. He explains the need to have a clear idea of what each scene/sequence is about and reminds us of the importance of remaining open to new approaches to storytelling. He also shares advice for nurturing a productive director/editor collaboration.
