Surgery
Simon stitches the thing together with infinite care and patience. Cutting around ‘holes’ in the action, making continuity glitches disappear, creating almost invisible cuts and passing the dialogue between the characters with precision and panache. Paul and I are in a hospital waiting room, while a beloved relation goes under the knife. Except we are in theatre here and you wouldn’t say to a surgeon - ‘yeah, nice work - maybe a bit to left?’ I had envisaged a lot of the smaller decisions we have to make - but couldn’t foresee how apparently small points explode into big questions of narrative and tone. ‘It sort of depends what kind of film we’re making’ quickly becomes a catchphrase of Simon’s.

There's so much work and precision that goes into even ameteur films and what you guys are undertaking is HUGE! Good luck with everything and if you need assistance with anything at all, I'd be more than happy to help out!

I've said it before and I'll say it again. These little blogs are so insightful and interesting to read. I love how you are being so open about the whole process. We can see the film being crafted.
