Mad Max: Fury Road and practically every film JJ Abrams has ever made including The Force Awakens.
Mad Max: Fury Road was edited by Margaret Sixel, who is married to George Miller and who he begged to edit the film because he said that if a man edited it, would be a totally different movie and not one he wanted to make.
Maryann BrandonandMary Jo Markey edited The Force Awakens. Maryann Brandon has worked on almost all of the shows and films Abrams has worked on and Mary Jo Markey is also a frequent collaborator.
Thelma Colbert Schoonmaker has edited all of Martin Scorcese’s films since Raging Bull and worked with him for around 40 years.
Sally Menke edited all of Quentin Tarantino’s films until her tragic death in 2010.
Julia Bloch is an editor gaining attention for her work on Blue Ruin and Green Room.
about 40% of Hollywood editors are women. when discussing how these women are underrepresented, you need to give their names.
Marcia Lucas (George Lucas’ now ex-wife) was one of the co-editors of A New Hope (and the rest of the trilogy) and is a huge part of the reason Star Wars actually worked in the first place. George’s original cut of the first film was a mess and she edited the shit out it to fix all the pacing and narrative issues, which earned her an Oscar, something George Lucas has never received.
My hero Anne Voase Coates 1925 – 2018 Order of the British Empire was a film editor with a more than 60-year-long career. She was perhaps best known as the editor ofLawrence of Arabiain 1962, for which she won an Oscar. nominated five times for the Academy Award for Best Film Editing for the films Becket(1963),The Elephant Man(1980),In the Line of Fire (1993) and Out of Sight(1998).
In an industry where women accounted for only 16 percent of all editors working on the top 250 films of 2004, and 80 percent of the films had absolutely no women on their editing teams at all,Coates thrived as a top film editor. She was awarded BAFTA’s highest honour, a BAFTA Fellowship, an Academy Honorary Award, which are popularly known as a Lifetime Achievement Oscar
