Today on Art of the Cut we speak with Oscar-winning editor, Mikkel E.G. Nielsen, ACE, about his work on Martin McDonagh’s Wild Horse 9.
Mikkel’s been on Art of the Cut before for Banshees of Inisherin, for which he was nominated for an Oscar, a BAFTA and an ACE Eddie. He was also on for Sound of Metal for which he won an Oscar and was nominated for a BAFTA and an ACE Eddie. His other work includes Beasts of No Nation, Hamlet, and A Royal Affair.
