59. The Shining with Jay Friedkin

In this episode we have something quite special for you. A wonderful guy from Los Angeles who has been a film editor since the late 70s. He was Oscar and Bafta nominated for Best Film Editing for his seminal work on the fantastic Australian movie, Babe. He went on to work again with Mad Max director George Miller on Babe 2: Pig In The City. Jay tells us how he got into the business and of one of his first experiences in the cutting room working with Robert Redford on Ordinary People, which went on to win 4 Oscars including Best Picture and Best Director for Redford himself. But, it was his connection to The Shining that we really wanted to speak to Jay about. Jay has the distinction of being the guy who was woken early one morning in New York by a telephone call from Stanley Kubrick, who offered him a very interesting job proposition. The Shining had been in a handful of Cinemas in New York and LA on it’s opening night when Stanley decided he hadn’t finished editing the film. Jay was tasked with driving to each and every one of the cinemas in New York the next day to remove the now infamous Hospital Scene from the end of the final reel of THE SHINING.
