Summary

Editors - Chris Patterson and Dirk Westervelt ACE EENIE MEANIE editors Chris Patterson and Dirk Westervelt reunite after a six-year break from their first co-editing effort, ZOMBIELAND: DOUBLE TAP. From its indie vibe to its seventies-inspired aesthetic, EENIE MEANIE doesn't shy away from its influences. Chris shares how both he and writer/director Shawn Simmons gravitated towards filmmakers like Steven Soderbergh, drawing inspiration from classics like OUT OF SIGHT and OCEAN'S ELEVEN. EENIE MEANIE tells the story of Edie, a reformed teenage getaway driver who gets dragged back into her unsavoury past when a former employer offers her an opportunity to save the life of her chronically unreliable ex-boyfriend. The film was written and directed by Shawn Simmons, making his directorial debut. CHRIS PATTERSON On his way to co-editing ZOMBIELAND: DOUBLE TAP with Dirk, Chris began his career assisting on films such as THE ROYAL TENENBAUMS (2001), ANALYZE THAT (2002), THE TOWN (2010), ZERO DARK THIRTY (2012) and READY PLAYER ONE (2018).
