Inside the Editing of Alex Garland's CIVIL WAR
CIVIL WAR editor Jake Roberts ACE is back once again in the cutting room with writer/director Alex Garland for a sequel of sorts to their 2022 feature, MEN. Although MEN was their first foray into collaborating on a feature, Jake and Alex first worked together on the 2020 FX mini-series, DEVS.
Written and directed by Alex Garland (EX MACHINA, MEN), CIVIL WAR follows a team of journalists traveling across the United States during a civil war fought between an authoritarian federal government and several regional factions. The cast includes Kirsten Dunst, Wagner Moura, Cailee Spaeny, Stephen McKinley Henderson, Sonoya Mizuno and Nick Offerman.
