This is the first film I’ve edited where I had zero involvement in pre-production. It’s also my first time editing a project that wasn’t in English or Norwegian. Working without prior context or deep knowledge of the story was an interesting challenge, but it made for a really unique experience.

​

The editing process went smoothly because the director had prepared an edit script beforehand. This streamlined our workflow, and our communication was clear and straightforward throughout. On top of that, I got to recreate the iconic Dynasty intro, which was a fun creative challenge.

​

I thoroughly enjoyed editing this piece. Piecing the story together felt like watching a movie for the first time, but with the added thrill of building it myself as I began to truly understand it.
