- Michael Kahn was born on December 8, 1930 in New York City, New York, USA. He is an editor and cinematographer, known for West Side Story (2021), Jurassic Park (1993) and Minority Report (2002).
- Almost always edits films directed by Steven Spielberg.
- Edits with both an upright Moviola (on most Steven Spielberg films) and digital Avid.
- Scenes play best with 3 reaction shots - no more, no less
- Keep fresh by walking away from your edit; you'll come back the next day and see a different scene
- Always overlap/duplicate 2-3 frames on match cuts because of eye sensory lag
- Don't edit from knowledge - edit from feeling
