The Editor
Director: Adam Brooks, Matthew Kennedy
Actors: Paz de la Huerta, Adam Brooks, Matthew Kennedy
PlotRey Ciso, once one of the greatest film editors, now struggles with his profession after a tragic accident leaves him with four wooden fingers. Reduced to working on cheap horror films, his life takes a dark turn when actors from his current project begin to turn up dead. With the police pointing fingers at him and finding it increasingly difficult to distinguish reality from illusion, Rey becomes embroiled in a violent conspiracy. As the line between the film he's editing and his own life starts to blur, his fading sanity is pushed to the brink.
Amidst the rising body count, Rey collaborates with other eccentric characters in the studio, including the passionate yet unstable police detective Porfiry, and his conflicted wife, Josephine. Each has their motives and secrets, creating a maze of suspicion and deceit. As Rey navigates through this blood-soaked environment, every cut he makes on screen seems to mirror the violent edits happening in real life. The tension escalates as Rey must clear his name and fight against the sinister forces pulling the strings before he becomes the next victim in this twisted narrative.
