The best edit in a movie is the one we don't notice! Today's guest is Matt Villa, an Australian film editor, best known for editing The Great Gatsby and Predestination with which he won the AACTA Awards for Best Editing. As a child growing up in the 70s and 80s, Star Wars impacted him in such a way that from then on, he always wanted to be involved in movies. With over 30 years of experience, Matt's passion and commitment to the filmmaking process has given him the opportunity to collaborate on some of the best international film productions. He argues that to participate in editing, one must have a sense of rhythm and understand how to keep the audience engaged without overwhelming them, but also without boring them. He is currently working on the Elvis biopic, with Baz Luhrmann as director, and starring Tom Hanks.
