From Cosmopolitan to the Cutting Room: Louise Ford on Editing Robert Egger's Vision

In this episode, I sit down with UK-born, NYC-based, Louise Ford, A.C.E., a dynamic creative force whose career journey has taken her from the fast-paced world of magazine journalism as a former Deputy Editor at Cosmopolitan UK to the immersive realm of film editing - where she's become a trusted collaborator of visionary director Robert Eggers (Nosferatu, The Witch, The Lighthouse, The Northman).

In this episode, you'll learn:

  • How Louise transitioned from print media to film post-production
  • What it's like editing for a filmmaker known for his atmospheric intensity and historical precision
  • The creative and technical challenges of cutting films like Nosferatu
  • Her approach to storytelling through editing - and why rhythm, intuition, and trust are everything
  • How she collaborates with directors and maintains her creative voice
  • Advice for aspiring editors and her own inspirations in film editing
  • ... and so much more!

Whether you're a filmmaker, editor, or just a lover of behind-the-scenes movie magic, Louise offers insight, honesty, and wisdom about the art of shaping a story frame by frame.
