Go behind the scenes with ‘Wicked’ editor Myron Kerstein as he peels back the layers of his creative process and details his collaboration with Jon M. Chu to create the magic present in Oz.
"I always approach music-driven films through the audience's eyes," Kerstein says in the video. "I lean into finding the heart in things. That's my style."
The video takes viewers into Kerstein's screening room as he watches takes of scenes that were filmed the previous day. He explains that he takes notes to mark which scenes are moving him emotionally to help in the editing process.
"To have a co-conspirator in the creation of your movie, to have someone bounce off things, is the greatest gift a storyteller could have," Chu shares. Watch the video now!
