@occupyeditors: Editor Paul Hirsch, who cut Carrie for Brian De Palma, explains what makes De Palma's films unique, in the period when Dressed to Kill (1980) became a big hit. He describes the movies as complicated jigsaw puzzles meant to go together in a particular way, built on visual storytelling that avoids dialogue, and says the director never tells his editor how the pieces fit, which makes the work fun. Hear the line first, then the full thought around it. Follow @occupyeditors for more from working editors, in their own words. #PaulHirsch #DressedToKill #FilmEditing #BrianDePalma #OccupyEditors
