Murch (2006, 78 minutes)
Murch is a portrait of Academy Award winning editor and sound designer Walter Murch, who’s unique approach to an invisible craft has fueled a visible following. As one of the original members of American Zoetrope Studios, he has taken part in the evolution of American cinema. Walter explains his unconventional approach to his craft, leading us through the productions and experiences that have influenced his methods and techniques in filmmaking.
In the interviews conducted in his London home, Mr. Murch discusses his background, works and philosophies which make him one of the most influential filmmakers of our time.
His contributions to films that have made an indelible impression on society came full circle when he cut a scene from Apocalypse Now (for which he won an Academy Award for sound design) into Jarhead, a Gulf War picture that he edited a generation later. Murch offers insight to his craft and his continuing journey to achieve “dense clarity.”
