through a mutual friend. At the time, Lee was at New York University working on a cable TV project.
Lee will be presented with the Golden Eddie filmmaker of the year award on April 17 during the 71st American Cinema Editors Eddie Awards. It was Brown who, while tinkering with the 1986 film “She’s Gotta Have It” birthed the signature Spike Lee double cut. “I was cutting it and noticed that Greer’s [character, played by John Terrell] did this thing when he gets into bed. To make Spike laugh, I did the double cut, so his character would get into bed twice.” Lee did laugh and asked Brown to keep the edit in. Since then, Lee and Brown have used it.
Brown remembers cutting that sequence without the music. “There wasn’t music there. One day Spike came in with the track and said, ‘I want to play it against that sequence.’” It was Lee who suggested the fade-in moment on the day of Malcolm’s assassination, and both sat back to see how it would play out. “We were both spooked by it because it played out as if I’d cut to it. I didn’t make any changes.
