What is it exactly that you do as executive vice president of feature post production?
Basically, it’s overseeing postproduction. That’s not when a movie is finished—postproduction actually starts during preproduction, and you oversee the ‘post’ elements of it, which are editing, music, visual effects, all the way through the end until it gets to a final print. It’s a long journey. So you wear many different hats. Yes, I have to have a certain expertise in all those elements, and then help the director, the filmmakers and the studio arrive at their vision. None of it’s easy, and none of it ever goes according to plan. So you have to be able to be adaptable and flexible and knowledgeable about what to do when things are sort of not going the way you want them to. And then you eventually get the filmmakers and the studio there. What’s your favorite part of what you do? It’s like figuring out a mosaic puzzle. The puzzle part is the narrative, telling a story. But the mosaic part is putting together what eventually becomes a picture. I enjoy trying to figure all that out wit
