ALIEN ROMULUS

Today on Art of the Cut we speak with Oscar nominee Jake Roberts, ACE, about editing Alien Romulus. Jake has been on Art of the Cut previously for the films Brooklyn, Hell or High Water, and The Hitman's Bodyguard. He was also on for the TV series, Devs. His work on Hell or High Water was nominated for an Independent Spirit Award, an ACE Eddie and an Oscar. We’re going to be discussing director Fede Alvarez’s cinematic hack behind the jump scare, how pacing builds tension, and how they shot special effects in the cutting room.
