Biography

[on editing scenes such as the crash sequence in 'Flight'] Generally when you're putting a scene together, you always want some amount of new information. I generally don't make a cut without it being motivated. You have to put together the scene so that it works technically. But then once it's all together, you have to go through and create a little bit of chaos with it. Sometimes you don't want every camera pan to land. Sometimes you cut to Denzel when he's in the middle of a sentence. I'm trying to keep everything in this relentless, chaotic pace.
