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

Every holiday season, a raft of the usual child- and family-oriented films hits the market, hoping to become the next holiday classic that must be watched every year before it can truly be deemed "Holiday Time." Among this year's offerings is one film I believe has a very good chance at becoming just such a classic: Hugo.

"I guess people forgot about us," laments Kermit the Frog in his lonely, dilapidated mansion. "Should we do it all again?" he asks the cobweb-strewn paintings of his polyfoam and fleece performer friends. The song, "Pictures in My Head," is one of six original songs in Disney's new musical film, The Muppets.

Creative Inspiration

Weeks are for work. Weekends are for personal enrichment. Maybe that enrichment is biking, skiing, cooking, cleaning (really?!), hiking, reading, going to the movies or theater, or whatever floats your boat. For me, it is keeping a collection of inspiring activities at the ready so when the moment strikes, I have no shortage of ways to stimulate my mind.

Who's on First

Kenneth Lonergan wowed audiences in 2000 with You Can Count on Me, his freshman foray into directing after several writing successes with Analyze This and Gangs of New York. It wasn't until 2005 that he journeyed into his sophomore effort with Margaret. Based on the short poem "Spring and Fall: To a Young Child" by Gerard Manley Hopkins, wherein the author speaks to an adolescent girl who still sees the world with fresh eyes, but warns that her perspective will change with age, Margaret...
