SHIFT Blog Editor Michael Taylor on Finding the Melody of a Film

Last month at Brooklyn’s Made in NY Media Center by IFP, Scott Macaulay, editor-in-chief of Filmmaker Magazine, sat down with local editor Michael Taylor at a launch party for the magazine’s Summer 2019 issue. Taylor, who began editing independent films in 2003 and has since cut fifty-three movies, including Elvis & Nixon (dir. Liza Johnson) and White Girl (dir. Elizabeth Wood), was fresh from working on Lulu Wang’s The Farewell and Semi Chella’s American Woman and joined Macaulay to discuss “The Art of Listening,” the article he contributed to Filmmaker Magazine' most recent issue.
