"IT IS ONE OF THE STRICTEST RULES IN MY MAKEUP THAT THE EDITOR MUST BE LOYAL TO THE DIRECTOR"
Earlier today, Chicago Review Press posted to its blog an excerpt from Paul Hirsch's new book, A Long Time Ago In A Cutting Room Far, Far Away (out Nov. 5th). The excerpt is from Hirsch's chapter on Carrie ("My First Hit," reads the title). "It is one of the strictest rules in my makeup that the editor must be loyal to the director," states Hirsch in the excerpt. He then mentions that Carrie producer Paul Monash would put Hirsch's loyalty to his director, Brian De Palma, to the test (which likely is detailed beyond the excerpt, further into this chapter of the book). The excerpt ends with Hirsch providing details about editing the split screen sequence in Carrie.
