 HD EXPO Asks: FROM THE CUTTING ROOM: Christopher Rouse, ACEby Christine Purse It’s been a heady couple of years for editor Chris Rouse, ACE. In 2006, he garnered both ACE and Oscar nominations for “United 93” and topped that in 2007 by winning both an ACE Eddie and an Oscar for his high-octane work on “The Bourne Ultimatum”. These kudos for Rouse added to his multiple BAFTA Awards, an Emmy nomination and a slew of film society and critics awards. His impressive credits include “The Italian Job,” “The Bourne Supremacy,” “Eight Below,” and “Paycheck,” among many others. Chris spoke with us from the cutting room of his next project, “Green Zone.” HDE: You’ve worked in a wide variety of worlds - documentary, television and features – and in diverse genres - action, drama, and historical. Can you give us the “how you got started” story? Chris Rouse: The summer I left high school (and before I entered university), my father was prepping a film to direct, and I asked him for a job. My dad didn’t want me to go into the business; his career had been a rollercoaster ride, and he had hoped that I would pursue a more stable line of work. But in his heart, he knew how passionate I was about film and that I wasn’t going to be deterred from chasing my dream. So, he explained to me that he would help me get my foot in the door (as a production assistant) but after that I was on my own. Once the film started, I spent every spare moment I could around the editing room where two wonderful men, the editor, Bud Isaacs, and his assistant, Bernie Balmuth, took me under their wings. Unfortunately, my father’s film met an awful fate when its financing collapsed mid-production, but Bud later took me with him on a television movie, “Raid On Entebbe”, where I got into the union and met another important mentor of mine, Janice Hampton. Apart from practical skills, she taught me a tremendous amount about the politics of the cutting room. HDE: You’re a child of Hollywood?Chris Rouse: My father was a writer/director (Oscar winner Russell Rouse) and my mother was an actress (Beverly Michaels,) so yes, I was raised in the business. On my father’s side, I’m third generation in the film business. More... HD EXPO June - Chicago
