The PENGUIN LESSONS

Today on Art of the Cut we speak with Robin Peters about the film The Penguin Lesons. Robin was nominated for a BFE Cut Above Award for Best Edited Comedy Series for This Time with Alan Partridge. He’s also edited the film Benjamin and the TV series One Day. He was an additional editor on The Personal History of David Copperfield.

This discussion includes - among other things - the difficulties of temping music on a film with comedy and pathos, how the theme affects editing choices, and the importance of sending the audience out of the theater on the correct note.
