For your reading pleasure, please enjoy an excerpt of half the article on the Backstory blog featuring our interview with editor Jake Roberts on  his experience of bringing Alien: Romulus to the big screen!

Reinforcing how editing truly is the last stage of storytelling – we had a blast interviewing Roberts as he explained step-by-step how creative solutions were found in the editing room while collaborating with the film’s co-writer/director Fede Álvarez!
