Interview With "Widows" Editor, Joe Walker Apr 16, 2018

Show notes

Over the last decade, Joe Walker has emerged as one of the most exciting editors in Hollywood. Collaborating closely with directors Denis Villeneuve ("Sicario," "Arrival" & "Blade Runner 2049") and Steve McQueen ("Hunger," Shame" & "12 Years A Slave"), Walker has amassed three Academy Award nominations and now his latest work with Steve McQueen ("Widows") is opening this weekend to great critical acclaim and even more Oscar buzz attached to it. Joe Walker was kind enough to sit down with us here at Next Best Picture and discuss his work on Steven McQueen's latest, talking about his relationship with the director, the evolution of their work together from small independent features to big budget studio action films and more!
