We welcome Zene Baker, editor of This is the End and 50/50 to this episode of In the Cut.
Zene has carved out his niche in the comedy world also having cut the recent Seth Rogen comedies Neighbors along with Observe and Report. We’re happy to have Zene on this show for this exclusive interview.
On Cutting Comedy:
