Piotr and Ricky talk with editor-author-podcast host Steve Hullfish, ACE about his latest book, Art of the Cut, Vol. 2.  They get into how he prepares for interviews, how over 360 interviews with top editors have influenced his own work and the 3 common traits of great editors. Steve also shares the edit/ film making books he always goes back to, a great bad-client story and how he literally cut and pasted together the first volume of Art of the Cut! And there might be a good back and forth about how AI will impact assistant editors.

What books inspire you as an editor/film maker?
