The Screenster Podcast

Cheryl is featured in the latest episode of Georgie Grier’s The Screenster Podcast. Each episode of Screenster takes a close look at some aspect of the film and television industry. Cheryl and Georgie had a great discussion about the editing process and how the cutting room works. It’s a more general chat and not too technical so would be good for any film-loving folk who are curious how the process works.

This first article in this series runs the numbers on women in the film industry, and specifically women in the cutting room.
