Oscar Winner Chris Dickens – Editor – Slumdog Millionaire
Posted on: March 2, 2009
Today we present Part I of a multi-part series with award winning film editor Chris Dickens. Chris is the recipient of this years “triple crown” of editing awards for his work on “Slumdog Millionaire”, for which he took home the American Cinema Editor’s (A.C.E.) EDDY Award, the British Academy of Film an Television Arts (BAFTA) award and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, Academy Award.
I had a chance to sit down with Chris the Friday before the Academy Awards here in Los Angeles, and although I had a pretty good idea, we didn’t know that two days later he would take home the Oscar. We spoke a bit about his career and went into depth about both the creative and technical aspects of his work on Danny Boyle’s hit film. The project, which was released by Fox Searchlight Pictures received a total of eight Oscar’s at this years ceremonies, an excellent showing for an independent film which was budgeted at around 15 million dollars.
Here in Part I, I ask Chris what drew him to the editing profession and how he got his foot in the door in his native country, the UK.
