Zak,

Let me know if I managed to register for your mailing list. I tried and nothing really happened aside from the form clearing. No clue if I was supposed to get a confirmation or not?

i got it. you should get an email confirmation, i think. i'll look into making a confirmation/thank you page. but either way, i got it.
 
for the Guest Jerk with the editing comment:

Dede Allen, Anne Coates, , Margaret Booth, Thelma Schoonmaker, Susan Morse, Jill Bilcock, Dody Dorn, Lisa Zeno Churgin, Sally Menke, Veronika Jenet, Geraldine Peroni, Lisa Fruchtman, Gabriella Cristiani, Claire Simpson, Nena Danevic, Carol Littleton, Verna Fields, Marcia Lucas, Eve Newman, Dorothy Spencer...

And there's lots more too!
 
I used to think there are two types of filmmakers a) those who talk & wish & wait and b) those who do it.

Now, I think a) might be subdivided into to categories a1) those who talk and wish and wait and a2) those who complain about their lives and make everyone miserable while talking and wishing and waiting.

Someone who has actually made a film knows that sex, race, color or religion, etc. has no bearing on the collective (or individual) creative process - all are contributors equally from cast to crew to an independent film.

Someone who has actually edited a feature understands the time and attention and hard work that goes into creating something as beautiful, original and intense as what Jamie Cobb is doing.

Those who can't respect, or understand any of the items above - ultimately, I feel sorry for.

They will be remembered briefly after they pass by their anonymous posts rather than their proud art.

Wow - just read up on this thing. Although what the guy said was dumb and ignorant, why dignify his comments with so many more posts? You're just playing into his hand.

no one is playing into his hand. we've come together in the spirit of love and harmony and bunnies and hugs and rainbows... to stomp him and his backwards thinking into oblivion. :)
 
Jamie, the editor, had this to say recently on the web site's blog...

I’m kicking it old school this time and hope that people still like to read. Not to worry though, there will be more video podcasts in the future.

I have exciting news! I just finished cutting the last scene in act 2, which means I have just 13 more scenes to explore in act 3 before we have a completed first pass of the film! I am ecstatic! We are so close to the end where we can finally sit back and watch the whole thing down to see where we are lagging, unclear, or most important, kicking ass.

Boy did I have a rough last few weeks. When last we left off in the podcasts I was so excited to work on the party scene. But the truth is the party scene is not just one scene that leads us to the end. It is actually an emotionally intense and complex blend of about 10 scenes with lots of characters, intercutting and music. Amber really gets put through the ringer in these 15 minutes of the film and I’ve been emotionally there in the trenches with her for the last 2 weeks.

I cut the last scene in this sequence today and it really got to me. After alienating her friends, finally seeing her boyfriend for who he is and making some wrong choices, the last person that she has, Gabe, walks out on her. Granted its not hard to make me cry, but seeing Amber hit her lowest point to the beautiful song, “The Photographer” by Airom Bleicher, mixed with an amazingly broken and numb performance by Marion Kerr, made me a complete mess. I can’t wait to watch this scene with an audience and see the reaction, which means less typing and more cutting…
