Andrew Bird is mainly working in European arthouse cinema with notable directors and is particularly known for his longtime collaboration with Fatih Akin. He is a character- and story-driven editor and believes that, of all other arts, it is in particular literature, painting and music that influence editing. ‚Being an editor is like being a DJ – both work with transitions and do their best to keep things moving and emotionally satisfying‘.
