While some film editors may feel as if they’ve spent 12 years cutting a movie, for the editor of “Boyhood,” that actually turned out to be the case. Richard Linklater’s epic yet intimate story of 12 years in the life of a boy named Mason (Ellar Coltrane) required a different way of looking at the editing process for Sandra Adair, who has collaborated with Mr. Linklater as editor on all of his films since 1993’s “Dazed and Confused.”
