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

Arguably a highlight in the career of Sandra Adair, A.C.E., and her 20-year and 16-feature collaboration with Richard Linklater, has been cutting the director’s acclaimed romantic trilogy about soul mates Jesse (Ethan Hawke) and Celine (Julie Delpy): Before Sunrise (1995), Before Sunset (2004) and, the latest, Before Midnight, which opens May 24 through Sony Pictures Classics.

With franchise films becoming increasingly commonplace as studios look to capitalize on past successes and brands, so are recurring creative teams, who stick together through the series. Such has been the case with Debra Neil-Fisher, A.C.E., and her collaborations with director Todd Phillips on The Hangover trilogy, as well as Jay Roach on the Austin Powers films. While Hangover Part II was co-edited with Mike Sale, Part III — which opens May 24 through Warner Bros. — sees the co-editorship ...
