Film Editing: The Women behind the machines.

Verna "Mother-Cutter" Fields is Steven Spielberg's Editor
Thelma Shoonmaker is Martin Scorsese's Editor
Quentin Tarantino's Late Great Editor Sally Menke who spliced Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill
Marcia Lucas had a MAJOR hand in the STAR WARS more on that later and she helped out on Taxi Driver, and Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore.
There are others, as we can go back to the birth of cinema, chances are I will, if you would like to join me, that's up to you.

But this summer 2011, the LA Times paid awards to the two that cut my favorite action movie of the summer. Super 8. Possibly the trailer package of the summer (check into Trailer Studies 101 further down the blog).
JJ Abrams is in contention for the King of Trailers 2011. wouldn't be possible without the Queens of.... why can't I alliterate here?! The Maidens of Misdirection. That's it. 






Martin Scorsese's Editor Thelma Shoonmaker.
