Legendary director John Sturges began his career as a film editor. His guiding principle, borrowed from Alfred Hitchcock: “The name of making movies is...meanwhile, back at the ranch.” Have two stories going. Cut away as needed, but always keep the momentum. Sage advice.
BAD DAY AT BLACK ROCK (1955) Perhaps the best director's commentary ever. John Sturges shares more film info, history and knowledge in the first five minutes than other directors can in two hours. Paul Thomas Anderson said this commentary is better than four years of film school.
