In this special edition of Talking MEWShop, Josh talks with "Nosferatu" Director Robert Eggers, Cinematographer Jarin Blashcke, and Editor Louise Ford, ACE. "Nosferatu" journey as a project for Robert began a decade ago, driven by a passion for storytelling. The team collaborates closely, using a shorthand communication style to enhance workflow. They talk about aiming to evoke tension and dread and using these tools to impact viewers significantly. They also discuss how early editing and feedback refine the narrative, while individual inspirations from each team member enrich the film's aesthetic. The conversation touches on sound design, editing techniques, and the importance of psychological depth in storytelling.

Robert Eggers (Writer-Director, Producer) is an award-winning writer and director. Originally from New Hampshire, Eggers got his professional start directing and designing experimental and classical theatre in New York City. Eggers eventually transitioned to film, directing several short films and working extensively as a designer for film, television, print, theater, and dance. "The Northman," a Viking revenge saga starring Nicole Kidman and Alexander Skarsgård, premiered in 2022 to great critical acclaim worldwide. "The Witch," his feature film debut as writer and director, won the Directing Award in the U.S. Dramatic category at the 2015 Sundance Film Festival, where it premiered to critical acclaim. It also garnered two Independent Spirit Award wins for Best First Feature and Best First Screenplay.

His second feature film, "The Lighthouse," starring Willem Dafoe and Robert Pattinson, premiered at Directors’ Fortnight in Cannes and won the FIPRESCI prize. The film was nominated for a 2019 Academy Award® for Best Cinematography.

Jarin Blashcke (Cinematographer) is best known for his work with long-time collaborator Robert Eggers. "Nosferatu" marks their sixth film together, after 2022's Viking epic "The Northman". For the striking black-and-white imagery of 2019’s "The Lighthouse," he was nominated for an Academy Award, and a BAFTA, as well as winning the American Society of Cinematographers’ Spotlight Award and the Independent Spirit Award for best cinematography. For his distinctive, low-light work on Eggers’ feature debut "The Witch," Blaschke was selected as one of Variety’s “10 Cinematographers to Watch” for 2015, and one of “The 13 Breakthroughs of the Sundance Film Festival” by MovieMaker magazine. His other films include M. Night Shyamalan’s "Knock at the Cabin," Rodrigo Cortés’ "Down a Dark Hall," and "Black Roads," the directorial debut of actor Alex Pettyfer. 

"Nosferatu" is the fourth feature film Louise Ford, ACE, has edited for Robert Eggers since their first collaboration in 2008 on his short film, "The Tell-Tale Heart." She edited Eggers’ The Witch, The Lighthouse, and The Northman.

Talking MEWShop Episode 1: Founder & President of Manhattan Edit Workshop

MEWShop’s one-day post-production summit returned to New York on Saturday, June 14th, 2014, at the Florence Gould Hall at the French Institute.  This panel focuses on the career of OOscar-winning and Steven Spielberg's legendary feature film editor Michael Kahn, ACE ("Jurassic Park," "Schindler's List," "Raiders of the Lost Ark") with author and film historian Bobbie O’Steen.

Michael Kahn, ACE has won three Academy Awards® for his editing of films directed by Steven Spielberg: "Schindler's List,  "Saving Private Ryan" and "Raiders of the Lost Ark." He has also received nominations for "Lincoln," "Munich," "Fatal Attraction" (for which he won a British Academy Award), "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" and "Empire of the Sun."  Kahn has worked on a wide variety of films, including "Jurassic Park," "Amistad," "War Horse," "Alive," "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom," "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade," "Minority Report," "The Color Purple," "The Goonies," "Poltergeist," "War of the Worlds," and "The Adventures of Tin Tin."  He also won an Emmy for his work on the miniseries "Eleanor and Franklin."  Up until his last few projects, Michael was one of the last editors to consistently use actual film to edit when he collaborated with Spielberg.

In 2011, he became the recipient of the American Cinema Editors's Lifetime Career Achievement Award.

Bobbie O'Steen is a writer and film historian dedicated to sharing the editor’s invisible art with students, professionals, and the movie-going public. Educated at Stanford University, she is an Emmy-nominated film editor and the author of two acclaimed books about editing."Cut to the Chase" is based on interviews with her late husband and colleague, legendary editor Sam O’Steen, about his work on such landmark films as The Graduate and Chinatown. Her second book, "The Invisible Cut", deconstructs the editing process of classic films through a cut-by-cut analysis.

​

O’Steen has hosted evenings honoring master editors involving screening and discussion for UCLA Film and Television Archive's Billy Wilder Theater, Emerson College's Bright Screening Room, NYU’s Cantor Film Center, 92Y Tribeca. She is currently partnered with Manhattan Edit Workshop for her series "Inside the Cutting Room," and she also moderates panels for American Cinema Editors' EditFest. O'Steen has taught graduate film student workshops at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts and has recently created an ongoing course entitled "Making the Cut," which is based on her interviews and examines the art and technique of master editors. In addition, she contributes to such publications as Editors Guild Magazine and Cinema Editor Magazine, the latter naming her "Film Editing's Greatest Champion."

Join author and film historian Bobbie O'Steen for a discussion with Emmy-nominated editors Trevor Ambrose and Paul Winestock, CCE.  They will talk about how they helped shape and deepen the characters over time, how they crafted that delicate balance between comedy and drama, and reveal other ways that they contributed to this Canadian gem becoming one of the most surprising success stories in the history of television.
