Susan B. Ades, Editor, NY, NY in front of her home editing suite.
Latest project: NRITYAGRAM: For the Love of Dance, a short documentary, screens January 25th at Lincoln Center’s Dance on Camera Festival. Susan emailed me that “It was truly a joy to work with the director, a long time dance photographer and reviewer for the New York Times, Nan Melville, and the film and subject were simply gorgeous.”
The movie is about, well, Alastair Macauley says it best in his review in the NY Times: “Nrityagram was built in India in recent years as a dance village by Protima Bedi, a vivid socialite who changed her life when she became an enthusiast for the Odissi genre of Indian dance. Yes, a dance village! Fabulous idea; glorious – though modest and practical – fact. Many intelligent points are made, and much of the dance footage, not least during the closing credits, is spellbinding. I wanted the film to be twice as long.”

David Mallory, Bellingham, WA in his home office.
Latest project: Wife After Death, shot on RED ONE in 4k and edited using Sony Vegas Pro software.
“It was a 48-hour film competition which meant if something could go wrong, it did,” David wrote. “But being involved in every step of the process – from brainstorming on initial story ideas, to assisting on-set, to working with the director on edits – was fantastic.”
