Editor Patrick J. Don Vito’s latest collaboration with director/writer/producer Peter Farrelly is quite a departure from what’s been their comedic norm. But this new turn in some respects wasn’t all that surprising to Don Vito who recalled telling his wife when he was working on the Farrelly TV pilot for Cuckoo that he’d love to see the director get a chance to tackle drama.

“Cuckoo was a crazy comedy but Peter’s conversations in the cutting room showed a real depth and understanding of characters,” related Don Vito. “His notes were so good and on point that I felt his talent could successfully translate into a different genre.”
