Film & Video got editors Angus Wall and Kirk Baxter to take a break from their work on Fincher's The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo - which is, like The Social Network, being edited with Final Cut Pro - and talk about bringing Fincher's and Sorkin's vision of Business 3.0 (and a bit of old-fashioned loneliness) to bracing life.
