For one night only in December, Metrograph will be a screening the director’s cut of legendary writer-director Elaine May’s 1976 triumph Mikey & Nicky, starring John Cassavetes, Peter Falk and Ned Beatty, followed by a rare in person appearance by Elaine May for a discussion with her frequent editorial and production consultant Phillip Schopper, ACE, and assistant editor on the film Jeffrey Wolf, ACE.
The editing of Mikey & Nicky is a story worthy of its own film. The years of editing, the constant struggles with the studio, the alleged stolen reels of film, the extraordinary amount of footage shot and finally buying the film back to make the definitive cut of a film that has come to be known as a classic.
This evening is sure to sell out fast so watch for tickets on sale announcement.

The 75th Annual ACE Eddie Awards will be postponed. New date and details forthcoming.
The next West Coast "American Cinema Editors Presents" event will be a screening of the 2000 psychological thriller Memento followed by a conversation with editor Dody Dorn, ACE, at Los Angeles institution Vidiots.
Leonard Shelby is tracking down the man who raped and murdered his wife. The difficulty of locating his wife’s killer, however, is compounded by the fact that he suffers from a rare, untreatable form of short-term memory loss. Although he can recall details of life before his accident, Leonard cannot remember what happened fifteen minutes ago, where he’s going, or why.
General Admission Tickets are $13
(Vidiots Members Receive Discount)
Proceeds benefit the Vidiots Foundation

The 75th Annual ACE Eddie Awards, which were postponed from their original date on January 18 due to the recent wildfires in Los Angeles, will now be held on Friday, March 14, 2025, at UCLA's Royce Hall. As previously announced, the 75th Annual ACE Eddie Awards is now a fundraiser with a portion of the proceeds going to wildfire relief. The event has also transitioned from Black Tie to “Come As You Are” allowing guests to focus on solidarity and celebration, rather than attire. ACE will be announcing other wildfire relief efforts before the ceremony.
Industry professionals reveal how they bring worlds and characters to life through the artistry of editing, music, sound, and more. With editor Brett W. Bachman, ACE (Companion, Heart Eyes), re-recording mixer Christina “Chuyue” Wen (What We Do in the Shadows Season 6), VFX supervisor/2nd unit director Johnny Han (HBO and DC’s The Penguin), editor/director Jon Dudkowski (Star Trek: Discovery), and composers Leo Birenberg and Zach Robinson (Cobra Kai, Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man).
