cutting room

John Gilroy went to college thinking he would become a lawyer, only to eventually find himself in a cutting room as a film editor after he became interested in directing.

It was a sister chair of one I would settle into in my father’s cutting room on the mornings I drove into work with him to the studio.

They had a bigger conversational element and I knew there were even more interesting parts I had to leave on the cutting room floor.

After, say, six months of filming and a year in the cutting room, by the time you’re finished you see these people only as their characters,” Miller explains.

His guest appearance on a popular sitcom ended on the cutting room floor.
