The editor behind critically acclaimed films such as Enemy (2013), James White (2015) and Swiss Army Man (2016) is coming to the WFG for an in-depth Master Class!

Directed by Josh Mond and edited by Matthew Hannam, the film tells the tale of a young New Yorker who struggles to control his reckless behavior as his mother battles cancer.

The screening will be followed by an open format workshop led by Matthew Hannam on editing low budget feature films. The class will cover the basics, the theory, the concrete and the vague. Matthew Hannam will bring a few mini case studies from his work and the class will talk about the endlessly frustrating and essential act of editing films.
