Join us for a Q&A with writer/director Stephen Sommers and editor Bob Ducsay, ACE, as they discuss their work on the action-adventure film The Mummy. This 1999 reboot of Universal’s classic monster franchise is both a loving homage to the past and a thrilling leap forward in its use of cutting-edge visual effects. Writer/director Stephen Sommers has an obvious love for classic monster movies and serials as well as Raiders of the Lost Ark (itself an homage to classic serials) which shines through in every frame of this rip-roaring action film about an adventurer and a librarian who go up against an awakened ancient mummy in 1920s Egypt. Everything in The Mummyworks from the groundbreaking visual effects to the game performances of Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz to frequent Sommers collaborator Bob Ducsay’s ace editing. Most importantly, though, The Mummy never forgets what it is at heart: a pure adrenaline-driven piece of entertainment with equal amounts of laughs and thrills. The Mummy’s long afterlife has been well-earned. This event will be a Zoom Webinar on Monday, July 8 at 7PM ET/4PM PT. **ACE members, please check your email for free ticket information.**

Join us for a Q&A with cinematographer Pawel Pogorzelski, as he discusses his work on the 2018 supernatural horror film Hereditary. Ari Aster’s horrifically disturbing debut feature, Hereditary, is truly chilling, but more importantly, it’s a compelling, astute drama that vividly dissects a family’s cracked psychology. In the lead, Toni Collette gives a detailed, go-for-broke performance, and Alex Wolff goes toe-to-toe with her with as much intensity and confidence. And, as shot by Aster’s frequent cinematographer Pawel Pogorzelski, Hereditary is a visually luminous work that slowly builds dread and mystery through this inventive artist’s work. Edited by Jennifer Lame, ACE, and Lucian Johnston, Hereditary is one of the great family dramas/horror films of the past decade that announced the arrival of a provocative new voice in filmmaking and became a surprise box office hit. This event will be a Zoom Webinar on Monday, July 22 at 9PM ET/6PM PT. **ACE members, please check your email for free ticket information.**
