Promising Young Woman

Matt Feury

Editor, Fred Thoraval

Promising Young Woman editor, Fred Thoraval could make a claim to knowing a thing or two about editing movies about revenge.  Taking a quick glance at his IMDB page not only reveals revenge tales like Unforgettable and Peppermint, but also the Liam Neeson classic…Taken.  But in talking to Fred we meet an editor who readily embraces all kinds of storytelling; which comes in handy with Promising Young Woman as that film gracefully blends multiple genres at once.

Editing Promising Young Woman

In our discussion with Promising Young Woman editor, Fred Thoraval we talk about:

  • Building the movie around a music playlist from director Emerald Fennell
  • Balancing the tonal shifts between mystery, horror and romantic comedy
  • The differences between men and women directors
  • Literally slowing down time to slow down time
