Slumdog Millionaire Interview

Dickens explains how one of the challenges was cutting down the film from its orignal 3 hours 30 mins.

He believes he was chosen as the editor for his face paced style, similarly found in Hot Fuzz.

It was difficult balancing his life with work as he had to go to India for 4 months after getting married.

One challenge faced was combing the different elements of the film, to make it appear as one. For example, the episode of the film where the protgaonist is playing Who Wants to be a Millionaire, got to heavy making it the focus of the film, so the editor cut bits out to make it one part of the whole film.

The film crew had filmed a lot of the slums due to its beauty, but it had to be cut down due to timings.
