July 24, 2024 Thelma Schoonmaker & David Hinton Interview
It's not every day you talk to Martin Scorsese's editor AND the wife of Michael Powell, Thelma Schoonmaker.

Schoonmaker and director David Hinton sat down with us to discuss what makes Powell and Pressburger iconic directors, Thelma's work with Scorsese, and more! (This might be the highlight of our year.)
