In this edition, we’re diving into a special conversation about the creative relationship between Editor and Composer — with Oscar-winning Editor Zach Staenberg and two-time Oscar-nominated Composer Marco Beltrami. Having worked together on multiple films, we’ll explore the secrets behind a successful collaboration.

Zach Staenberg, ACE
Academy Award-winning editor Zach Staenberg is best known for his groundbreaking work on The Matrix trilogy, which redefined modern action and visual storytelling. Over his distinguished career, Zach has collaborated with visionary filmmakers including Lana & Lilly Wachowski, Andrew Niccol, and John Woo, with credits spanning Bound, Speed Racer, Lord of War, and Silent Night. His work has earned him two ACE Eddie Awards and an Emmy nomination.

A longtime collaborator of filmmakers such as Kathryn Bigelow, James Mangold, and Guillermo del Toro, Beltrami is celebrated for his bold, inventive scores that blend classical craft with a modern edge.
