Boom!, and the global phenomena Wicked and Wicked: For Good.Kerstein shares his fascinating evolution from architecture student and collage artist to one of Hollywood's most trusted editors. He explains how his background in design and "found object" art informs his "mad scientist" approach to the edit suite, where he views the timeline as a blueprint for human emotion.The conversation explores Kerstein's early career working on rebellious 90s indie projects like Michael Moore’s TV Nation and Louis Theroux’s Weird Weekends, where he learned the power of letting a moment "hang" and the value of awkward silences.Kerstein concludes with a powerful call to action for aspiring editors: Hustle and cut everything. He encourages young artists to develop their emotional muscle by identifying why certain images move them and stresses the importance of perseverance and networking in an industry that rewards those who dream big but work harder.More from Filmmakers Academy and for do-it-all filmmakers:-Cinematography: Virtual Location Scouting with the Insta360-<a...
