Going from a Rough Cut to a Fine Cut
Why You Need a
Supervising Editor's Feedback

Many films do not get accepted into festivals because the editing doesn't make the film shine.  Watch a "Before and After" cut of a wonderful film by local filmmaker Anna Augustowska "Desert Farms" which has been nominated for an Emmy Award.
Presenters: 
Anna Augustowska of SHE FILMS

and
Genie Joseph, PhD - Supervising Editor


Our Desert Farms has screened at the Arizona International Film Festival, Phoenix Film Festival, Colorado Environmental Film Festival and Earth Talks International Film Festival in Prague and has been submitted for a regional Emmy Award.

SPECIAL NOTE FROM GENIE:
"Understanding the power of editing to make or break a film
is the difference between success
of failure."

Meeting Location:

The Jewish Community Center - 3880 E. River Road 85718 - 2nd floor Multi-purpose room
