Way to go Steve. That's good news. I'll be looking forward to the article on PVC.

My job was to get the initial edit cut for the first delivery to Sony back in October of last year. That initial edit was 2.5 hours. It was then the director's job to cut it down to the final 2 hour running time.

I also just presented to the Chicago Final Cut Pro Users group about my experience last night.

And a thank you to the director, Alex Kendrick, who was a great editing partner and took a chance on an editor with no track record in drama.
