Editors - Michael Kahn ACE and Sarah Broshar THE FABELMANS editors Michael Kahn ACE and Sarah Broshar have been working together for sixteen years, going back to the film 10 ITEMS OR LESS (2006), written and directed by Brad Silberling.  At that time, Sarah was in the cutting room as an apprentice.  It would be five more years before Sarah would work with both Michael Kahn AND Steven Spielberg on THE ADVENTURES OF TINTIN (2011); this time as an assistant.  Six years later on Spielberg's THE POST (2017), Sarah would take on co-editorial duties with Mr. Kahn.  She would continue to do so on Spielberg’s subsequent films; READY PLAYER ONE (2018), WEST SIDE STORY (2021) and THE FABELMANS.  Veteran editor Michael Kahn ACE first worked with Spielberg on CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND (1977).  Among his numerous notable films, Michael would go on to win Oscar® awards for editing Spielberg's RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK (1981), SCHINDLER’S LIST (1993) and SAVING PRIVATE RYAN (1998). THE FABELMANS is a coming-of-age drama film directed by Steven Spielberg and written and produced by Tony Kushner and Spielberg.  It is a semi-autobiographical story loosely based on Spielberg's adolescence and first years as a filmmaker. The tale is told as an original story of the fictional Sammy Fabelman, a young aspiring filmmaker who explores how the power of films can help him see the truth about his dysfunctional family. The film features an ensemble cast that includes Gabriel LaBelle as Sammy, with Michelle Williams, Paul Dano, Seth Rogen, and Judd Hirsch in supporting roles. The film is dedicated to the memories of Spielberg's real-life parents Leah Adler and Arnold Spielberg, who died in 2017 and 2020, respectively.
