When you publish a book, it’s the world’s book. The world edits it.
Nothing is cut while I’m shooting. I edit between nine months and a year, and usually have around 80 hours of footage I have to get down to an 82-minute movie.
With everything that I’ve done with YouTube and podcasts for so many years, it’s been: you can record it, edit, and then upload that day. With the book and documentary, it’s been such a longer process.
