"We're kind of almost the last bastion of the old-fashioned way of working - in a film cutting room, where the film is printed, processed, printed, and sunk up with magnetic sound."

  - Jonathan Morris

Jonathan Morris is another of Ken Loach's long-time collaborators. In 1980, as a young staff editor at the now defunct ATV, Morris was assigned to work on the documentary Auditions, which Loach was directing. The two men have worked together ever since.

While the majority of film productions now rely on digital editing hardware and software, Morris still edits all of Ken Loach's films on the traditional Steenbeck (in which film and sound are synced together on separate reels and the film is physically cut together, rather than digitally manipulated). It's an approach Morris enjoys, not least for the focus it encourages during the edit as well as the time it allows for reflection.
