From Assistant Editor - both prior to joining Fear The Walking Dead and on the first few seasons - to quickly establishing himself as Editor, maintaining that position for the past several years, then finally directing his first episode (8x09, Sanctuary): we discuss Phil McLaughlin's journey, vantage points (as both editor and director) in the editing/film-making process, and new short film Toad Boy.
