Channel 101 really helped us with a lot of things, because knowing how to tell a story in five minutes is a good thing to figure out how to do, to just be as concise as possible. Once you get to features, the edit gets so much harder because it’s inherently harder to tell a longer story and know what works, and a change at minute 17 can affect a moment at minute 54. I don’t understand how you can be a director and not be in every frame of the edit. It is so important for timing, and as Steve Martin said, “Comedy is ti-ti-ti-ti-ti-ti-timing.” If you’re not in control of that, you’re not in control of the joke.
