Film is emotion for me. Editing allows me to control emotions. I can influence whether a scene or a character is perceived as funny or sad, exciting or vicious. It's also a way for me to put myself in other people's shoes and explore their inner selves: How do characters react to different statements, looks, and gestures? How does someone react at a particular moment? How can I make this believable? But not only what we see is important, but also what we hear. The film really comes to life with the right atmosphere and the right sounds. All these aspects are very important to me with regard to the story, because I want to reach the audience, make them think, cry and laugh.
