How long was your first cut?

AYER: Define first cut.

Not the assembly, but the first time you put it together that you had a cut of the film and you were like, “This is pretty good.”

AYER: It’s funny because…let me say this, there’s three movies you make: There’s a movie you write, there’s a movie you shoot, and there’s the movie in post that you edit. When you put a cut together it’s about plateaus, so the first sort of plateau the movie got was just under 3 hours, I think it was 2:45 or something like that.

Was that a cut that you would’ve been ok with if people watched it?

AYER: No.
