I’m based in Los Angeles and am a member of both the Directors Guild of America and the Producers Guild of America. As you’ll discover on this website, I’ve written thousands of technical articles – and eight books – on all facets of production and post-production. I also write and publish ‘Larry Jordan’s Free Weekly Adobe and Final Cut Newsletter’ – now in its eleventh year – which provides essential news and tutorials on a wide variety of audio and video editing software.
