To The Aotg.com Community,

It is with a heavy heart that we announce we will no longer be updating Aotg.com. Back in 2007, when we started, there was a lack of access to information about film, television, and commercial editing. We wanted to fix that by creating a central location for content about editing to be stored.

Since then, we've watched the amount of content about editing on the internet grow exponentially. We've also watched social media tools come and go with that growth. Does anyone remember Google Wave!? These social media tools changed how people access and search for media and information. People tend to turn to Facebook, Youtube, Twitter, and Instagram for their news and information, and those are all great tools to promote your sites, but as a site that aggregates links to other sites for users, it just doesn't work for us.

We will keep the site live but archive the ability to add links and comments. We will keep our database live with the links for those who desire to use it to search for editing information and research.

Our podcast, The Cutting Room, will move over to the Filmmakeru.com website and will continue to be a place for interviews with editors and other film professionals.

Everyone who worked for Aotg.com loved what we created and are proud that we could help so many editors find content that spoke to them.

I look forward to seeing everyone at the various post events worldwide in the coming years!

Yours truly,
Gordon Burkell
Aotg.com Founder

Kelly Reichardt Edit movies if you want to be a di

The dearth of popular female filmmakers makes us all the more grateful for Kelly Reichardt, a director who has made some of the most daring and beautiful films of the past decade and has since become an increasingly dominant force in independent cinema. She makes deceptively simple films--composed of quiet, minimalist surfaces pulsating with increasingly irrepressible uncertainty and loneliness. Mesmerizing and often cryptic, they offer the immersive experience of getting lost alongside wanderin...

Boston artist Jake Fried animates weird, dense portraits by hand using a range of materials including ink, gouache, white-out and coffee. (Absolutely full-screen it for the best effect.)

Change Your Posture, Change Your Life

I'm not so sure about James's claim. Yes, your attitude has a strong effect on the quality and nature of your life. Waking up with confidence and a thirst to confront challenges will make for a happy and productive day. Rolling out of bed uninspired and plodding through daily tasks with a long face will not. That much is well established. Your attitude foretells almost everything about your life will go.
