Editor - Ryan Folsey RENFIELD editor Ryan Folsey never went to summer camp and never went to film school.  His formative years were spent on the lot at Universal Studios and on location with his father, editor George Folsey Jr. (ANIMAL HOUSE, THE BLUES BROTHERS, COMING TO AMERICA, MICHAEL JACKSON'S THRILLER).  It was there that Ryan learned and fell in love with the craft of editing.  In his professional life, Ryan has applied his craft to films such as; CABIN FEVER (2002), THE LEGO NINJAGO MOVIE (2017), SCOOB! (2020) and THE ADAMS FAMILY 2 (2021). RENFIELD was directed by Chris McKay from a screenplay by Ryan Ridley, and based on an original idea by Robert Kirkman featuring characters from Bram Stoker's 1897 novel Dracula. The film stars Nicholas Hoult as Count Dracula's lackey R. M. Renfield, who finds a new lease on life in modern-day New Orleans when he falls in love with Rebecca Quincy (Awkwafina), a traffic cop, and decides to finally stand up to his creator in hopes of finally breaking free of his servitude.  Editing RENFIELD In our discussion with RENFIELD editor Ryan Folsey, we talk about: Finding the right balance between comedy and horror To explain, or not to explain, the mythology of Dracula Speed ramping up the action Nic Cage and more Nic Cage Getting tossed into a trim bin by the Blues Brothers The Credits Visit Extreme Music for all your production audio needs See the latest new features in Avid Media Composer Send me your feedback and questions here Subscribe to The Rough Cut podcast and never miss an episode Visit The Rough Cut on YouTube
