My 50th Birthday Present to Filmmakers
A few weeks ago my well-intentioned, dear best friend Phyllis snooped into my Address Book and mistakenly sent out thousands of emails inviting my “friends” (actually, film clients) to my surprise 50th birthday party.
I began receiving irate emails from a few filmmakers saying that their email security had been breached by an unknown party. When I asked my friend Phyllis if she knew anything about this problem, she confessed. And she was mortified. She sent out an apology email (which I hope you received if you were one of the invitees).
Of course, you are welcome to my surprise birthday party, though I can’t tell you when it is (email Phyllis Christopher phyllis@phyllischristopher.com if you really want to know)!
But the real reason for this email is to give you a special birthday gift in appreciation for my 50 years on the planet and my opportunity to serve as a documentary story consultant. I’d like to share with you a special video about how to enhance the relationship between a directors and editor (or a story consultant) in the post-production process.
This ½ hour instructional video is Module 6 of a six-part e-course,“Editing the Character-Driven Documentary”. It was shot during a weekend seminar I regularly teach for the San Francisco Film Society. (You can learn more about the e-course at https://newdocediting.com/).
Here’s the video link to Module 6. I think you’ll enjoy it: https://newdocediting.com/editing_course1/M6PostProduction_Director_Editor.mov
I’m also launching a special contest! If you’d like to receive the written handout that was given to students during this lecture about working with editors, simply request one at Karen@newdocediting.com.
The first ten people to get back to me will enter a special drawing. The winner of the drawing will receive 30% off my New Doc Inner Circle, beginning June 1st, 2011. This six-month coaching program for documentary filmmakers sold out last time, so email me now!
