Agenda (subject to change and availability)

6:45- 7:15PM - Stump the Gurus
Join Gurus Patrick Southern, Michael Kammes, Adam Bedford and Larry Jordan as they will attempt to answer all of your questions and solve all of your problems concerning FCS and FCPX, Avid, Premiere Pro and anything else you can think of. If they can't solve your problem or answer your question, then you go home with a problem, but you still got out of the house, so that's not a bad thing.

This is your time, assuming we have time. New to LA? Say Hello. Got a movie you want people to see? Tell us about it. Looking for a job? Tell us. Offering a job? Tell us.

About This Guy Edits
THIS GUY EDITS is a YouTube channel (80K+ subscribers) by film editor Sven Pape, an A.C.E. award nominee, whose credits include work for directors James Cameron, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and James Franco.

The channel started during the editing of Sven’s latest film for Sundance alumnus Mark Webber: Flesh & Blood (SxSW premiere and theatrical release in November). Viewers could watch Sven cut scenes as he shows the editing timeline and records a play-by-play-commentary of the editing process.
Since then the channel also features video essays on all things related to creative storytelling, character development and emotional audience engagement.

8:30- 8:55PM - Break
This is the most important part of the show. It's networking time. This is a great opportunity to not only ask questions and get problems solved, but to meet people that just might change your life. Edit5 Consoles will be in lobby showing off Editing tables and chairs. Get to the Gallery early for this one. Snack bar wil be open for sodas, water, wine, chips and beer. I hope.

8:55PM - 9:40PM - Editing "SHOT" - Norman Hollyn
For his latest film project – SHOT, in which Mark (Noah Wyle) is accidentally shot by Miguel (Jorge Lendeborg, Jr.) – Norman worked with director Jeremy Kagan on a story and style choice. The script called for most of the movie to be done with split screen, following each of the characters in real time as they go through their own suffering. As they explored the split screen idea during the editing process they learned a lot about how split screen affects storytelling, budget and editing time.
