Chris Dickens (born February, 1967) is a British film and television editor . For his work on Slumdog Millionaire (2008), directed by Danny Boyle , he won the Academy Award for Best Film Editing , the BAFTA Award for Best Editing , and the American Cinema Editors Award for Best Edited Feature Film – Dramatic .
Chris went to Hailsham Community College in his teenage years and graduated from Arts University Bournemouth in 1990. [1] He worked in television for a number of years, including a stint with the director Edgar Wright on the television series Spaced . Dickens subsequently edited Wright's first feature film, Shaun of the Dead (2004). [2] He worked again with Wright on Hot Fuzz (2007).
Dickens' editing of Slumdog Millionaire has been discussed by several critics. [3] [4] Peter Caranicas wrote, "'Slumdog' has a complex structure that interweaves three story strands into a single braid, yielding a rich, almost fugal narrative." [3] In May 2017, after over three months of shooting, Dickens was replaced as the editor of the film Solo: A Star Wars Story , which was released in May 2018. [5]
