Today on Art of the Cut, one of the most talked about films at the moment, the horror film, Barbarian, currently on HBOMax. With us to discuss this film today is Art of the Cut’s first-ever guest host: multi-Emmy-winning editor Stephanie Filo, ACE. Steph has been a guest on the show before, and I saw her post several times about this film on Twitter as a self-proclaimed “fan-girl” of the film, so I thought with her knowledge of editing and her love of the film, she’d be the perfect co-host.
