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

Lucky in Cannes, luck can give American director Jim Jarmusch film in exquisite Only lovers left alive. He is responsible for the smooth rhythm that metaphysics vampire love story, filmed by the director of Broken Flowers, has until the end, without falling into monotony even a second. His star began to shine La Croisette in 2012, when the long Beasts of the Southern Wild, by Benh Zeitin, left here with four awards.

Michael Tronick, A.C.E., has to stop and pinch himself when he thinks about the people he has encountered in the more than two decades he’s worked as an editor on such films as Midnight Run (1988), Days of Thunder (1990) and True Romance (1993). He has had multi-film collaborations with directors Martin Brest and Tony Scott, and his list of editing mentors includes some of the best in the profession.

Just a brief note to say how much I enjoyed Kevin Lewis’ “The Great Sequelization of Hollywood” (CineMontage MAY-JUN 13) and look forward to the sequel. However, his “This Month in Film History” article entitled “Mad Cowboy” really was fascinating and whet my appetite to take a fresh look at Hud (1963). It has been years since I’ve seen it.

The benefits of author Philip Roth’s method would seem obvious to any artist, but my experience as an editor has taught me otherwise. On the eve of a recent test screening, a presumably experienced client confided, “Is there really any point in this exercise? I mean, we know how well it’s working, right?"

“Inside the Cutting Room: Sight, Sound and Story,” Manhattan Edit Workshop’s celebration of all things editing, took place this past June 8th. This marked the first time the edit training company presented the daylong event. Considering how complicated it can be to organize such programs, MEWshop (that’s their web address) did quite well, with panels that moved along with nary a hitch.
