Today we're talking with Australian film and TV editor Paul Machliss, ACE, whose work you'll have seen in movies like Guy Ritchie's The Gentlemen and Edgar Wright's Baby Driver, The World's End, and Scott Pilgrim vs The World (for which he received an ACE Eddie nomination). In fact, Paul's association with Edgar Wright stretches as far back as 2001's cult UK comedy series, Spaced, which is just one of several offbeat British comedies you'll find in his credits, including Black Books, The IT Crowd, Peep Show, and Fleabag.
Paul and I last chatted on Art of the Cut about Baby Driver, for which he picked up a BAFTA for Best Editing— along with Oscar and ACE Eddie nominations—but today we're looking at Last Night in Soho, a sinister thriller based on Krysty Wilson-Cairns' screenplay, directed/co-written by Edgar Wright, and starring Anya Taylor-Joy, Matt Smith, and Thomasin McKenzie.
