Picturehouse 441 and ACE are proud to be partnering on a series of live virtual Q&As as part of our mutual efforts to promote film literacy. Join us for a Q&A with editor Richard Francis-Bruce, ACE, as he discusses his work on the 1994 prison drama The Shawshank Redemption. Frank Darabont’s directorial debut, The Shawshank Redemption, is itself the ultimate redemption story. Dismissed upon release, The Shawshank Redemption quickly developed a devoted following on TV and home video, earned seven Oscar nominations including Best Picture, and is now hailed as one of the greatest films ever made. All of the deserved praise heaped upon this film belies the fact that, at its heart, it is a small, down-to-earth prison drama about a wrongfully-imprisoned man and his friendship with a fellow inmate. As cut by veteran editor Richard Francis-Bruce, ACE, this methodically-paced drama crescendos to a tremendously powerful climax that makes an already-affecting film ascend to true cinematic transcendence. This event will be a Zoom Webinar on Wednesday, September 4 at 9PM ET/6PM PT. **ACE members, please check your email for free ticket information.**

Join us for a Q&A with editor Maurissa Horwitz and screenwriter Meg LeFauve, as they discuss their work on the 2024 coming-of-age Inside Out 2. The first Inside Outwas one of Pixar’s most exhilarating triumphs: a complex, profoundly moving, and wickedly funny exploration of a young girl’s emotions. And its sequel, Inside Out 2, is another insightful, surprising work that follows the original five emotions and some new ones as their girl, Riley, navigates being a teenager and the anxiety that comes with it. Paced at a breakneck speed by debuting director Kelsey Mann and editor Maurissa Horwitz and filled with rich vocal performances from its exceptional voice cast, Inside Out 2 is the rare film that has captured both the hearts and especially minds of critics and audiences and shown that the geniuses at Pixar are still operating at the top of their game.
This event will be a Live Zoom Webinar on Wednesday, September 11 at 8PM ET/5PM PT with two encore livestreams to follow on Vimeo.
