Drama
Dramas are where my passion truly lies. This film “Trust Me” was a collaborative edit between myself and Tim Smith who also directed the film. It was the first time I’ve split the editing with someone else on a drama but in this case it really helped realize the film’s full potential.
We edited the film in eight days, passing each version back and forth between the two of us, which gave us both great perspective on what was working and what wasn’t. Over the course of editing the project we did a lot of work to the structure of the film, playing with the order of the scenes and exactly how much of each scene we needed. There were versions as long as 24 minutes and as short as 8 minutes, but the 11 minutes we ended up with felt right. It was a great demonstration of a collaborative effort and the audience’s extremely positive reaction when we screened the film for the first time was especially gratifying.
