Perhaps Russell has calmed down in recent years, but I'm guessing he may still be not the easiest guy to work with. All that makes me think Cassidy might be a bit reserved about the reason for and experience with three editors on the film (though it seemed like a chance to step up for at least one of the other editors; cool). But Cassidy knew what he was getting into. And perhaps the end result was better because of his efforts; I don't know. I liked Silver Linings Playbook. Haven't seen American Hustle.

As far as I know, based on a brief conversation with the guy, he doesn't see working on docs as a stepping stone to fiction narratives. And ya, he seems nice, enthusiastic, and generous.

>> I'll bet he is very nice and very talented and experienced. I just said, based on the article that quoted him talking about why there were three editors, seemed to help explain to me why the film felt not great. but none of the comments here were meant to detract from the editor's talent. Even the other posters' snooze comment. I just felt that certain things in that article were illuminating. The director made a seasoned editor watch movies and quizzed him on them? He needed to see every scene with every take? All that shows a lack of trust or understanding how to work with a great editor. Also, too many movies are hobbled I think by stupid schedules that force producers and directors to work with too many editors. What next multi DP's ,multi Production designers? It's counter productive.
