“Cutting Rhythms illuminates the things that expert editors know and practice but rarely put into words.” -Margaret Sixel, Academy Award Winning editor of Mad Max: Fury Road “For years, many experts have claimed that “Good editing is invisible”. Karen Pearlman puts this fallacy to rest with a brilliant examination of the art of film editing from the inside out. Required reading for Editing Fellows at the American Film Institute Conservatory, this book reveals new insights on every pass. I consider it an essential text for anyone curious about how Editors do what they do.” -Robert Ivison, ACE, Head of Editing Discipline American Film Institute Conservatory “Karen Pearlman’s work, which advocates for the centrality of editors and editing in the filmmaking process, is an invaluable resource for the film industry, students, and film scholars.” -Su Friedrich, filmmaker and creator of the website 'Edited By - Women Film Editors' “Karen’s profound understanding of movement, energy, trajectory phrasing, and even dance offers editors actionable tools to engage audiences on a deeper level. Her teachings will forever change how you approach storytelling.” -Sven Pape, ACE-nominated film editor and creator of “This Guy Edits""
