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

The series is about 4 female friends and their lives. What is great about the series is that it is not social realism - even though it deals with heavy issues it is set in a glamorous reality. The series was directed by Amanda Lane, Catharine Cooke, Robyn Aronstam, Nonny Malete. What was so great is that other than Amanda, all these directors where first time directors.

There’s one woman in the world who understands Quentin Tarantino better than anybody, and that’s Sally Menke. Since her work on Reservoir Dogs, Menke has cut every single one of Tarantino’s films, and for the last decade, she’s eschewed almost all other jobs to devote herself solely to the genre-blending auteur. This Sunday, Menke will be receiving the Lifetime Achievement honor at the Hamilton Behind the Camera Awards, and as Inglourious Basterds begins its transformation from unexpecte...

Hopeville was originally a 6 part drama series commissioned by Heartlines and SABC Education. Curious Pictures produced and John directed. So the movie came from the series. Which sounds simple but is quite a challenge.

Inception director Christopher Nolan drew a big laugh at the ACE Eddie Awards on Saturday night when he acknowledged Smith's contribution by saying, the movie's editing needed to "have everybody understand it -- or understanding it enough anyway." Nolan also earned applause as he continued, "I’d like to take this opportunity to say, Lee, you did an incredible job."

"Eventually, he said, 'If...
