Editor - Thelma Schoonmaker, ACE KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON editor Thelma Schoonmaker ACE has literally had a front row seat to some of the most celebrated films of the past four decades, working as director Martin Scorsese's editor and filmmaking partner.  The pair reunite once again for KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON, starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert DeNiro, two mainstays of Scorsese's acting troupe, as well as Lily Gladstone, who delivers a breakout performance as Mollie Kyle. KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON was directed by Martin Scorsese from a screenplay he co-wrote with Eric Roth, based on the 2017 non-fiction book of the same name by David Grann.  Set in 1920's Oklahoma, it focuses on a series of murders of Osage members and relations in the Osage Nation after oil was being produced on tribal land. Tribal members had retained mineral rights on their reservation, and whites sought to gain their wealth.

Schoonmaker has been honored with Oscars, most recently in 2007 for her work on Scorsese’s “The Departed,” and in 2004 for his film “The Aviator.” In 1981, she won both the Academy Award and BAFTA Award for editing Scorsese’s “Raging Bull.” Subsequently, she worked on all of Scorsese’s features: “The King of Comedy,” “After Hours,” “The Color of Money,” “The Last Temptation of Christ,” the “Life Lessons” segment from “New York Stories,” “Goodfellas” (which earned her another BAFTA Award, as well as an Oscar nomination), “Cape Fear,” “The Age of Innocence,” “Casino,” “Kundun,” “Bringing Out the Dead,” “Gangs of New York” (for which she received the ACE Eddie Award and was nominated for an Academy Award), “Shutter Island,” “Hugo” (for which she received another Oscar nomination), “The Wolf of Wall Street,” and “Silence.” In addition to her film editing, Schoonmaker works tirelessly to promote the films and writings of her late husband, the director Michael Powell, among them “The Red Shoes,” “Black Narcissus,” “The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp,” “I Know Where I’m Going,” “A Matter of Life and Death,” “Tales of Hoffmann,” and “Peeping Tom.” Editing Killers of the Flower Moon In our discussion with KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON editor Thelma Schoonmaker ACE, we talk about: Leaning into the love story When to cut to DiCaprio or DeNiro Scorsese's shooting style The structural perfection of Goodfellas Twelve cuts to completion The Credits Visit ExtremeMusic for all your production audio needs Learn all about what's new with Avid Media Composer Subscribe to The Rough Cut podcast and never miss an episode Visit The Rough Cut on YouTube

Wilcox ACE and Rosanne Tan ACE worked together for the very first time to help bring to life the story of Anakin Skywalker's former apprentice.  Although none of the three describe themselves as experts on the Star Wars universe, it's their gifts as storytellers that led Dave Filoni to trust them with his latest entry in the saga.

Editors - Varun Viswanath ACE and Patrick Tuck The RESERVATION DOGS editing team of Varun Viswanath ACE and Patrick Tuck have spent the last two of the show's three seasons, working together to close the loop on multiple, multi-generational stories.  Considering that the focus was just on the four teens when Varun started the journey with the Season One pilot, this was no small feat. There was no roadmap as to how their lives and their stories would interconnect with the generations of "Rez Dogs" that came before. RESERVATION DOGS follows the exploits of four Indigenous teenagers in rural Oklahoma who steal, rob and save in order to get to the exotic, mysterious and faraway land of California. To succeed, they will have to save enough money, outmaneuver the methheads at the junkyard on the edge of town and survive a turf war against a much tougher rival gang.  VARUN VISWANATH ACE Varun is a Film & TV Editor based in Los Angeles, CA.  He is a member of the American Cinema Editors and the Motion Pictures Editors Guild, and has an MFA in Film Editing from The American Film Institute Conservatory.  His work on What We Do In The Shadows was nominated for Best Edited Comedy Series at the 2021 ACE Eddie awards. PATRICK TUCK Patrick Tuck is a versatile editor who most recently edited FX’s Dave and Mo for Netflix. Getting his start in the commercial and documentary world, Patrick prides himself on his talent for balancing genres and styles to create unique tones and rhythms, as well as his ability to find solutions for the toughest creative puzzles.

Editors - Kevin D. Ross ACE, Eric Litman, Adam Pearson and Daniel Williams The ONE PIECE editing team knew full well, going into this live-action adaptation of the beloved manga series, that they had a huge challenge on their hands.  Expectations were high and previous attempts to adapt other manga series had left those fanbases disappointed, to say the least.  Fortunately, they had a talented crew around the globe, plus ample time and resources from Netflix to finally crack the code of making a hit series that would satisfy the die-hard manga fandom. ONE PIECE follows the adventures of the Straw Hat Pirates as they explore the dangerous oceans, lands, and beyond in search of the "One Piece", a fabled treasure that will make their captain, Monkey D. Luffy, "King of the Pirates".  But the Marines are on their ship's tail, and they are not the only crew searching for the One Piece.  Armed with skills and an unbreakable friendship, the Straw Hats are ready for the journey and even more ready to fight for their dreams together.  Adapted from the legendary manga series from author Eiichiro Oda, ONE PIECE was developed as a live action series for Netflix by Matt Owens and Steven Maeda under the watchful eye of Oda.

Editors - David Webb and Robert Frost HIJACK editors David Webb and Robert Frost have logged many sky miles together in the cutting room, but mostly with Rob as David's assistant.  That all changed when David tapped Rob to take on full editing duties for their previous collaboration, LITVINENKO (2022); a critically acclaimed series directed by Jim Field Smith for ITV.

Editors - Nick Olah, Marissa Mueller and Ivan Victor ACE THE AFTERPARTY editors; Nick Olah, Marissa Mueller and Ivan Victor ACE, not only got to have fun with the classic "Roshomon" style of storytelling for the Apple TV + original series, but they also got to do it by paying homage to their favorite film genres and filmmakers.  From erotic thrillers to film noir, from Hitchcock to Wes Anderson, no style and no "body" was spared in their comedy whodunnit. In Season Two of THE AFTERPARTY, Aniq (Sam Richardson) and Zoë (Zoë Chau) are celebrating one year together following last season's events. They attend the wedding of Zoë's sister, Grace (Poppy Liu), to an eccentric Silicon Valley businessman named Edgar (Zach Woods). When Edgar and his pet lizard Roxana are found dead the following morning, Aniq calls Detective Danner (Tiffany Haddish) for help. Danner, who has left the LAPD to write a book about the murder she solved in Season One, agrees to take the case before the local police get involved.  Once the interrogations begin, it's clear that everyone had a motive to send the groom to his grave. Nick Olah O.G. "Afterparty" editor Olah not only brought eight episodes of Season One experience of the show into Season Two, but he also brought his history of cutting such shows as: THE LAST MAN ON EARTH (2017-18), MacGRUBER (2021) and YOUNG ROCK (2022). Marissa Mueller Joining THE AFTERPARTY for the first time in Season Two, Marissa already had a friend and former YOUNG ROCK (2022) colleague in Nick Olah welcoming her to the series.  Marissa's other credits include shows like NCIS: LA (2012-16) and BASED ON A TRUE STORY (2023).

Editors - Diana Fishman, Adam Lichtenstein and Mary DeChambres ACE The JURY DUTY editing team had plenty of experience cutting unscripted tv before taking on the hit Freevee series.  But is it actually an unscripted show?  To hear their fellow JURY DUTY editor Steven Rosenthal tell it, they were "using the techniques of a reality show for the purposes of a sitcom".  The end result is a series unlike any in either the unscripted or scripted comedy genres. JURY DUTY is a reality/sitcom tv series that chronicles the inner workings of a U.S. jury trial through the eyes of juror Ronald Gladden, a solar contractor from San Diego.  Ronald is unaware that his jury duty summons was not official.  Everything that happened, inside and outside the courtroom, was planned.  And everyone in the courtroom, aside from him, was an actor.  The series was produced by; Ruben Fleischer, Nick Hatton, Cody Heller, Gene Stupnitsky, Todd Schulman, Lee Eisenberg, David Bernad and Andrew Weinberg.  Jake Szymanski also produced and directed. Diana Fishman Editor Diana Fishman is known for her work on the shows; GRACE AND FRANKIE (2015), THE UCB SHOW (2016-17) and SOUTH SIDE (2019-21). Adam Lichtenstein Born with a natural love for time code, Adam showed an early preference for non-drop frame, then rose through the editorial ranks pretending to enjoy sports, overusing terms like "shots on goal", "swish", "in your face" and "that's what I'm talking about" without the slightest idea what he was talking about.  He recently completed work on the documentary, FILM GEEK (2023) directed by Richard Shepard. Mary DeChambres, ACE In addition to her work crafting the finale of JURY DUTY, Emmy®-winning editor Mary DeChambres is known for cutting unscripted hits such as; PROJECT RUNWAY (2008), AMERICAN NINJA WARRIOR (2013-23) and THE REAL WORLD (2002-03).
