Walter Murch is a triple Oscar-winning film editor, director, writer and sound designer, best known for The Godfather films, Apocalypse Now, Julia and The English Patient. In 1969 he created Zoetrope Studios in San Francisco with Francis Ford Coppola and George Lucas. His subsequent work in film editing rooms and sound-mixing theatres not only earned him nine Oscar nominations but was responsible for ground-breaking technical and creative innovations in the film industry. Murch has written extensively on film editing and sound. His best known title, In the Blink of an Eye, is still a bestseller thirty years after publication. His new book, Suddenly Something Clicked, presents a masterclass on what makes great films great. It covers six decades of cinematic history and includes personal stories, meditations on his own creative tactics and reminiscences of his contributions to award-winning films.
