The next West Coast "American Cinema Editors Presents" event will be a screening of the 1980 American neo-noir crime drama American Gigolo followed by a conversation with editor Richard Halsey, ACE, at Los Angeles institution Vidiots.
Richard Gere sizzles in Paul Schrader’s sexy thriller of a male escort in over his head after the death of a client. Julian lives the Los Angeles dream through sensual means and he lives it in the epitome of early '80s neon-soaked style. As he seduces women at a price he begins to fall for one, even as he’s suspected of the murder of another. With a sick Giorgio Moroder soundtrack and the art, architecture, and fashion of early '80s LA, this scorcher will leave you thirsty… for more!
General Admission Tickets are $13

Each year, the American Cinema Editors Internship Committee selects two interns from each city (Los Angeles, New York, London) and provides them with the opportunity to shadow for one week each the editing rooms of a feature, a television show, and an unscripted show. Interns also visit several facilities integral to post-production (e.g. sound stages, VFX vendors, labs, etc.). Interns are being mentored by ACE editors and previous alumni. The ACE Internship Program is geared toward anyone with a passion for editing, who is just starting their career in post-production.
