Today, on Art of the Cut, we’re speaking with the editor of this year’s Academy-award winner for Best Picture CODA. I think we can all agree that you can’t have a Best Picture winner without also having a beautifully edited film, so I’m excited to share my discussion with its editor, Géraud Brisson, ACE.
Géraud was born and raised in France - south of Lyon. He came to the States and graduated USC Film School with an MFA. In addition to CODA, Géraud has edited the feature films Camp X-Ray, and Big Sur, which were both official selections for the Sundance Film Festival. He’s also edited TV series, including This Close, Counterpart, Looking and Little America - which is where he met CODA’s director, Siân Heder.
