New York City-based editor, Jamie Kirkpatrick joins The Rough Cut to talk about his new indie drama, Critical Thinking. Actor John Leguizamo not only stars in the film, but also takes the reins as director for the first time in his prolific career. Jamie talks with us about what it's like to be a working editor in New York City, as well has how he jumpstarted his career by leveraging his technical support skills for assistant editing credits. Jamie also shares what he learned from actor/director Leguizamo about the importance of an editor being able to identify takes that are "performative" vs "intuitive".
