For BAFTA-winning editor Ben Lester, the best part of editing any project is “trying to do justice to what is on the page and recreate that feeling on the screen,” he says of allowing the audience to feel the way he does when he first reads through a script.
As for his work on HBO’s six-part thriller “The Undoing,” Lester reveals that it was particularly challenging and exciting in the editing room after post-production was shut down due to the pandemic, because key department heads were able to revisit their work months later, with a fresh and potentially more discerning eye. “To have that distance and come back and watch it more objectively was really great,” he admits. “To finish it and be away from it for months,” he says, “was a bit disruptive. But, we rode with it!” Watch the exclusive video interview with Lester above.
