Paul Hirsch is an American film editor. In the late 1960s, while editing trailers in NYC, he was introduced by his brother, Charles, to then unknown filmmaker Brian De Palma. Their collaboration has yielded eleven feature films. He has won multiple awards and has edited over 40 feature films. Hirsch rarely watches movies other than his own more than once. However, he cites that the musical An American in Paris and the science fiction film 2001: Space Odyssey are worthy of repeat viewing.
