How to Edit David Bowie's Concert Scenes

Today on Art of the Cut, we speak with writer/director/editor Brett Morgen about his film “Moonage Daydream” about the iconic artist, David Bowie. This is no simple biopic. It’s a rich, philosophical montage connecting Bowie’s life and work with the culture that he is both affected by and speaking into. This interview came from numerous requests from Art of the Cut fans who loved the masterful editing of this film.

Brett Morgen is known for directing biographical documentaries like Jane - about the extraordinary life of Jane Goodall, Cobain: Montage of Heck, about the life of Nirvana singer Kurt Cobain, and The Kid Stays in the Picture, about the legendary Paramount producer, Robert Evans.

Morgen has also directed the pilot of the series When the Lights Go On, and episodes of 30 for 30 and Runaways among other feature film and TV projects.
