KILL THE EDITOR
full-Length, dramedy
2m, 1f
Ben, a young editor, has just landed his dream job to edit a documentary film at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival. The catch is: he only has one week to cut a five-hour version down to size and the egomaniacal, obsessive filmmaker, Cameron, doesn’t want to touch a frame. And then, when Cameron’s previous editor, Libby, returns demanding her position back, Ben must fight to realize Cameron’s vision, or possibly discover his own. Kill the Editor depicts a desperate, unrelenting, and hilarious portrait of the artistic process.
