Today on Art of the Cut we speak with director/editor Josh Safdie and his co-editor co-producer and co-writer, Ronald Bronstein. Safdie and Bronstein are nominated this year for Oscars for Best Picture, Best Screenplay, and Best Editing for Marty Supreme. Safdie has an additional nomination for the film for Best Achievement in Directing.

The pair has worked together for almost two decades on such films as Uncut Gems, Good Time, Heaven Knows What, and Daddy Longlegs.

Our discussion today includes the importance of editing the film linearly – not looking at dailies until after the shoot - and being in love with their flawed main character.
