The Father editor, Yorgos Lamprinos, considers himself a "blue color" editor who never wants to be pigeonholed for a certain genre or project type. That being said, his Oscar-nominated work on The Father may result in many offers to work on suspenseful, psychological dramas. Although The Father was shot almost entirely on a soundstage in London, Yorgos (a native of Greece), edited the film in Paris where he has lived and worked for many years now.

- Using wide shots to convey geography and close-ups to convey emotion
- The balancing act of misdirecting the audience while keeping them engaged
- What it was like returning to Greece as an Oscar-nominated editor
