DEAF PRESIDENT NOW

Today on Art of the Cut we speak with BAFTA, Emmy and ACE Eddie-winning editor, Michael Harte, ACE about the SXSW Audience Award-winning documentary, Deaf President Now, currently streaming on Apple TV+.

Michael’s been on Art of the Cut before for his ACE Eddie-winning show Beckham. He won an ACE Eddie and was nominated for a BAFTA for Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie. He won a Grierson Award and was nominated for an Emmy and an ACE Eddie for Three Identical Strangers. 

This episode includes the answers to some interesting questions: When does real sound design need to be done during picture cut? When archival and interviews are equally strong, how do you choose? And when - and how - does it make sense to take the POV of your deaf protagonists?
