PLAY PODCAST

A soft-spoken, young writer from Texas, Robert Benton broke onto the feature film scene with his debut screenplay, Bonnie and Clyde for which he was nominated for an Academy Award. Developing into a writer/director, he won Oscars for Kramer vs Kramer and Places in the Heart. Here, we gather with collaborators, re-recording mixer, Tom Fleischman, picture editor, Bob Reitano and ADR Supervisor, Michael Jacobi, describe the New York scene that gave birth to Robert Benton's best collaborations and their part in creating films like Places In The Heart and Billy Bathgate.

Frame By Frame is a podcast series hosted by editor Isabel Sadurni, that introduces you to the most influential, respected and accomplished cinema post-production professionals working in New York today. Through intimate, informal discussions between collaborators about post-production craft, aesthetics, process and technique, we’ll recognize and celebrate the iconic films and people that have made New York film history as well as those contemporaries who continue to make important contributions to the art of filmmaking. In conversations anchored by the film editor, we’ll share the stories that define New York as an essential ongoing capital of the global film industry.

Proudly presented by the Post New York Alliance and the New York Motion Picture Editors Guild.

Produced by Isabel Sadurni and Ben Baker.
