EP 281 - 'The Hunting Season' - Editor - Håkan Karlsson - Mel Gibson
Tell us what you though of the episode
🎙️ On this episode of the Kingdom of Dreams Podcast, I sit down with acclaimed editor Håkan Karlsson for an intimate conversation about the power of editing and narrative rhythm.
Håkan takes us inside the cutting room of Mel Gibson’s latest film, breaking down how pacing, restraint, and emotional timing shaped the final story. He speaks candidly about the difficult editorial decisions behind the scenes, including a pivotal moment that was ultimately removed—the long-anticipated meeting between the protagonist and antagonist and why its absence made the film stronger. It’s a revealing discussion about tension, storytelling discipline, and how sometimes what you leave out carries the most weight..
Håkan Karlsson is an accomplished film editor known for his precise storytelling, emotional restraint, and strong sense of rhythm. His work spans feature films and documentaries, where he is particularly recognized for shaping character-driven narratives and balancing realism with cinematic pacing.
