Sundance has granted us a 2 week extension (thanks to Gill Holland) for us to submit the rough cut of the our film.
Not that this allows me to breathe easy, as they say, it simply allows me to breathe.
Quite simply, we need another 3 months (5 months!) -- so the chances of us even sending a cut to Sundance is quite slim...
Let me just say it'll be a minor miracle if that happens.
I'd rather save the submission fee and buy lunch for our interns (and me).
Plus, what use is it to bludgeon the footage?
So Sundance, even with the extra 2 weeks is out.
Sorry Bob... er, Rob, crap, I mean, Mr. Redford.
We also just hired another editor, Doug Abel, the very same person who edited The Fog of War, Metallica: Some Kind of Monster.
I believe that he first thought this whole project was insane, he's right, too.
But after we showed him the footage he heaved himself into the quagmire full force.
