“Carsten Kurpanek is an extremely savvy editor with an incredible sense of pace, visual rhythm, and tone. Carsten's instincts are always spot-on. He knows not only when a scene works, but why it works, and what it takes to get a scene working. I truly cannot wait for the next opportunity to work with him. He is an invaluable partner to work with in the editing room, and he is a fantastic storyteller. Simply: all that I could hope for in an editor.”

“Carsten is one of the best Assistant Editors that I have worked with. Carsten was always there before me with all systems up and running. His energy was always high, and positive. He is very knowledgeable in all aspects of film making, but especially proficient in matters relating to Post Production, and most specifically Editing. Carsten never hesitated in his duties and support, and always had his priorities in order, without putting off until later, even the smallest request of the editor. I cannot say enough about Carsten on a co-worker or on a personal level. I felt very secure knowing that Carsten was at my side, while watching my back, he is very capable of humbly helping out in cutting scenes in order to get the editor out of tight spots. I hope to be able to work with Carsten again as soon as our mixed up schedules will allow !”

“Carsten reminds me of myself when I was an assist (high praise, for I was an awesome AE). He has strong technical know-how, and applies his keen German efficiency to his organization skills. I've seen him accomplish in one night, what some assists cannot do during an entire season. He's the goods.”
