An Evening with Paul Hirsch, ACE

I’ve been enjoying the editor Paul Hirsch’s book, A Long Time Ago in a Cutting Room Far, Far Away, for last couple of weeks. It’s one of the best books about working in Hollywood, with delightful nuggets of editing / storytelling wisdom as an film editor. (I’m planning to write a book review after I’m done with it.)

To supplement his book, I’m thrilled to find his book tours/talks all over the Internet, and his talk @ LACPUG stands out because he’s talking to his main audience, the editors and the peers.

I cannot embed the videos here, but you can watch the part 1 and the part 2 at Vimeo.
