Out you go, I gotta make a story out of this mess.” #me @ quentin tarantino fans Mad Max: Fury Road and practically every film JJ Abrams has ever made including The Force Awakens. Mad Max: Fury Road was edited by Margaret Sixel, who is married to George Miller and who he begged to edit the film because he said that if a man edited it, would be a totally different movie and not one he wanted to make. Maryann Brandon and Mary Jo Markey edited The Force Awakens. Maryann Brandon has worked on almost all of the shows and films Abrams has worked on and Mary Jo Markey is also a frequent collaborator. Thelma Colbert Schoonmaker has edited all of Martin Scorcese’s films since Raging Bull and worked with him for around 40 years. Sally Menke edited all of Quentin Tarantino’s films until her tragic death in 2010. Julia Bloch is an editor gaining attention for her work on Blue Ruin and Green Room. about 40% of Hollywood editors are women. when discussing how these women are underrepresented, you need to give their names. Male directors giving any women jobs only after realizing they can look at you for the pay cut, and your movie will be a smash because women are superior creative artists, they just haven’t been given the platform and jobs in equal numbers considering men run every industry and give other men jobs. All the best movies and tv are produced or written by or directed by women even if a mans branded big director name is the one that gets referenced often related to the film Also for your information, Marcia Lucas was a film editor and among her most well known work was, you guessed it, the Star Wars trilogy. And a little bit of trivia, the first Star Wars movie, A New Hope, was almost entirely rewritten and rearranged by Lucas’ WIFE, so yeah, we owe most of the original Star Wars story to this woman, because Lucas’ original script was allegedly a big mess. -- source link
