NEWS VIRTUAL GLASS OF WINE
If you’ve tuned in to any of the recent BFE VGOW events, both virtual or actual, you might have heard from Derry Girls editors Nigel Williams and Lucien Clayton, Barry Alexander Brown, long-time collaborator with director Spike Lee, or legendary editor Frances Parker. As a director, Brown’s documentary The
War at Home was nominated for an Oscar; he recently wrote, directed and edited feature Son of the South. Working with Spike Lee, he was also Oscar-nominated as editor of BlacKkKlansman.

Band of Brothers and has gone on to edit TV phenomena including Game of Thrones and The Crown. She described taking performances to the next level: “If you have somebody who is not really very fluent and is extremely nervous, and doesn’t hit the dialogue points, you can really help those performances.” Being a woman in a predominantly male world hasn’t fazed her. “I’ve never felt that being a woman has held me back.” In June, Cut Above award-winners
