In this episode, I sit down with UK-born, NYC-based, Louise Ford, A.C.E., a dynamic creative force whose career journey has taken her from the fast-paced world of magazine journalism as a former Deputy Editor at Cosmopolitan UK to the immersive realm of film editing - where she's become a trusted collaborator of visionary director Robert Eggers (Nosferatu, The Witch, The Lighthouse, The Northman).

Whether you're a filmmaker, editor, or just a lover of behind-the-scenes movie magic, Louise offers insight, honesty, and wisdom about the art of shaping a story frame by frame.
