Hillbilly Elegy editor James Wilcox, ACE joins the Rough Cut to talk about cutting Ron Howard's new film. James first collaborated with Howard on the series, Genius, and received an ACE Eddie award for his work on the episode, "Einstein - Chapter 1". Unlike most feature editors who started their journey in post as an assistant, James actually started out as an editor, but working in news and sports. This experience proved invaluable to him later in his career when he started cutting scripted shows and features.
