The Virtual Glass of Wine talks are BFE’s online forum, where the audience meets successful craftspeople in the world of film and television. Most recently, Emmy and ACE Eddie award-winning editor Wendy Hallam Martin shared her story. Hallam Martin, who grew up partly in
England, is best known for her work on the Golden Globe winning series, The Handmaid’s Tale. Season 5 has recently
episodes of The Handmaid’s Tale, Margaret Atwood’s story which is set in a dystopian future. “Every director says it’s the hardest show,” says Hallam Martin. “I had to re-learn how to edit…It was so delicate, every moment mattered.” Point of view is the key. “You really have to learn the language of The Handmaid’s Tale.” There’s a determined and supportive
crew. Hallam Martin has brought through two assistants to become editors on the series. “It’s not a hierarchy, it’s teamwork.” She describes her “strong, collaborative
relationship“ with actor-turned-director on the series Elisabeth Moss. Beyond The Handmaid’s Tale, Hallam Martin
recently completed the pilot for comedy series The Consultant for Amazon and is working on limited series Fellow Travelers for Showtime. Upcoming Virtual Glass talks include Iain
Kitching, editor of The Swimmers and Joanna Crickmay, editor of Elizabeth: A Portrait in Part(s). See BFE website for details.
