We Need to Talk About Oscar

Today’s guest is no stranger to editing wonderfully constructed, tension-filled episodes or TV shows, since Vikash Patel has worked on projects like Ozark or Five Days at Memorial.
This time we cover his work on HBO’s The Sympathizer, where he edited the first two and the fifth episode. Viks told Áron his experience from working shoulder to shoulder with Director Park, to realizing what’s written on the pages of the script in the editing room.
