This is an exclusive excerpt from the forthcoming Film issue of Port magazine, guest edited by Daniel Day Lewis.

Thelma Schoonmaker has worked as Editor on all of Martin Scorsese's movies since Raging Bull. She has been nominated for seven Oscars, winning three times.

The Editor

Thelma Schoonmaker

Interviewed by Dan Crowe

I got into movies by a series of wonderful accidents of fate. Having been raised overseas, I wanted to become a diplomat. But the State Department thought I was too “liberal” to be happy with that job.
