Editing, Rewriting, and Killing Your Darlings

The book is written. The film is shot. Now, it’s time to edit, it’s time to rewrite, it’s time to turn it into the finished product that you send out to your audience. So, how do you do that? And what about that advice we’ve all heard: “kill your darlings.” What does that mean? We tackle the question “what’s next?” this week on the Cutting Room Floor.

Also, Josh recommends the documentary Dave Not Coming Back which is currently on-demand on Pluto TV, and Ira recommends Band of Brothers which is on HBO.

Ira mentions a rewriting process he uses, which you can find here.
