    Today David Altrogge sits down with Oscar-winner Paul Hirsch. And while he's not a documentary filmmaker, he's one of Hollywood's most revered editors (we're talking Carrie, Star Wars, Ferris Buhlers Day Off, and Mission Impossible to name a few). He's also the author of A Long Time Ago in a Cutting Room Far, Far Away (which is one of our all-time favorite books about filmmaking). Today's episode is pure gold.
