A practical art

An ordeal of editing, cutting around yesterday's problems. But I think I came through it okay in the end.

Editing, filmmaking, is so practical, screenwriting so theoretical in comparison. Filmmakers, not screenwriters, win the "film by" sweepstakes after all. A major shit of opinion resulting from my own summer directing/editing experience. The screenwriter is a theoretician. The filmmaker is a practitioner.
