The intersection of a Venn diagram is where the commonality is found of the different subsets. This is the connection in which the different parts relate. This is an appropriate metaphor for the work of editor Xiaoyao Shen (aka Andy Shen) on Outdooring . Director Maxwell Addae was fully aware that the film was relatable to a portion of the general public but he needed it to be also accessible to those who had no direct connection with the characters depicted in the story. Still, Addae was convinced that the proper editor would be able to grant insight from a perspective that was unfamiliar with the circumstances of the main character Kobby and those around him. After seeing Andy’s work on Armistice which clarified complex characters and arcs, the director was convinced that he’d found the ideal editor in Shen. This decision is vetted by Outdooring ’s win for Best Drama Short as well as a nomination for Shen’s editing (both for the International Film Awards) as well as a nomination at...

There are a number of well-known sayings which lend themselves to the idea that the world is eternally balancing itself out: “When one door closes, another opens” or to put it in more scientific terms, Newton’s third law which states, “For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.” Speak with anyone involved in the entertainment industry and they will expound on its fulfillment and creative empowerment as well as the challenges it brings. They will also communicate the absence of a “normal” life that it demands. No one knows this better than those who are editors. While much of the production process is collaborative and social, editors are those who weave and bind the stories which are created…doing so in a small solitary room by themselves (with intermittent appearances from the director and producers of said productions). Vishnu Perumal has spent a large portion of his life in this type of surrounding and concedes that while it extracts a certain social content fr...
