Summary

Martin McDonagh's "The Banshees Of Inisherin" has been nominated for nine Academy Awards, including Best Picture, and re-unites him with many of his frequent collaborators. One of the newest ones is Oscar-winning editor Mikkel E. G. Nielsen ("Sound Of Metal"), who was nominated for his work on McDonagh's latest for Best Film Editing. Nielsen spent some time talking with us about his work on the film, what it was like having to fill in for the late Jon Gregory, who previously worked with McDonagh on his last three films, and more.

In June, he used to be the best of friends.
