Richard Francis-Bruce
Richard Francis-Bruce AM (born December 10, 1948 in Sydney ) is an Australian film editor .
Life
His father Jack Bruce was a cinematographer for Cecil B. DeMille and the Famous Players-Lasky Corporation . In order to follow in his father's footsteps, Francis-Bruce applied to the television company ABC in Sydney after graduating from school. Since there is only one vacancy in the editing department at this time , he starts as an editor and is enthusiastic about the work.
He worked for television for 15 years before editing his first feature film, Goodbye Paradise, in 1983 . He briefly returns to television for The Dismissal , where he meets director George Miller ( Mad Max ) for the first time . This collaboration continued in 1985 with Mad Max Beyond the Thunder Dome and in 1987 with The Witches of Eastwick . The film is his ticket to Hollywood , but he remains loyal to George Miller and in 1989 he edited the deep- sea thriller Death Silence with Nicole Kidman and in 1992 Miller's drama Lorenzos Öl with Nick Nolte and Susan Sarandon . In 1994 he was selected from over 30 top Hollywood editors for Frank Darabont's prison drama The Condemned . He received a special honor in 1997 when he was inducted into the guild of American Cinema Editors (ACE).
