Every editor's career path is different. For Jeff Betancourt,
it all started with a phone call. Still a student when he was hired to cut his
first film, Miguel
Arteta's Star Maps, Betancourt has gone on to make quite a name for himself
in the indie film world, working again with Arteta on both Chuck & Buck and

The Good Girl. From the cutting room of the comedy Harold and Kumar
go to White
Castle, Betancourt spoke with MM about his career and The
United States of Leland.
