Sir Doug and the Genuine Texas Cosmic Groove will continue its film festival run when it appears at this year's Lone Star Film Festival in Ft. Worth. Directed by Joe Nick Patoski and edited by Cody Ground, I served as an additional editor during the push toward its world premiere at SXSW earlier this year.
Bright Shadow, a documentary about musician Ana Egge directed by Jesse Lyda, will make its world premiere at Lone Star and I can't wait to share it. A passion project for Lyda, it is the first feature documentary for me to serve as lead editor. I've been an assistant, an associate editor and an additional editor, but Bright Shadow goes down as the first for me to sit in the hot seat and help find the story with Lyda and producer Jason Wehling. We're looking forward to this screening and finally getting to share Ana's very personal story with everyone!
Here is the press release by the Lone Star Film Society announcing both films amongst several others.
Also worth noting (for the post production geeks out there): we edited Bright Shadow on Apple's Final Cut Pro X. We started in version 10.0.9 before it was really ready for a feature. We made the jump to 10.1 when that was released and it made a world's of difference. Hopefully, I'll be writing more on that soon!
