FEATURE FILMS
There is no art quite like that of editing a feature film. Often referred to as “the invisible art,†great editing does not call attention to itself, but rather draws the audience in so that it is fully present in the moment and totally immersed in the story, completely unaware of the editor’s work. The process is a tedious one that spans many months to several years but incredibly rewarding for the passionate story teller.
THE RUTLES 2 “Can’â„¢t Buy Me Lunch” – Warner Bros
“The Rutles 2: Can’t Buy Me Lunch” is the much-anticipated sequel, or rather a “remake” of Eric Idle and Gerard Corvin’s 1978 mockumentary, “The Rutles, All You Need is Cash.” The film charts the adventures of the prefab four, possibly the most famous band of all time, as they do a reunion tour of America. Documentor Dirk McQuickly (Eric Idle) interviews many artists and personalities who were inspired by the legendary band, from David Bowie to Tom Hanks.
