Joe Walker: The Editor's Editor
Joe has twice been nominated for an Academy Award, winning (third time's a charm) for Dune Part 1 and thrice BAFTA nominated for 12 Years a Slave, Arrival, and Blade Runner 2049.
Joe is also definitely an 'editors-editor'. I've heard firsthand from several editors how he's 'looked out for them' on numerous occasions, and his name comes up consistently whenever I ask another professional editor, ‘Whose editing inspires you most?’
I've also personally appreciated, over the years, his ability to discuss the art, craft and business of film editing in a way that both illuminates and enlightens.
Each of his Art of the Cut interviews is well worth the time:
Joe's next scheduled project is Denis Villieneuve's Rendezvous with Rama.
