Election Q&A with Director/Co-Writer Alexander Payne and Editor Kevin Tent, ACE

Zoom/Online see event description for link details, CA, United States

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 director/co-writer Alexander Payne and editor Kevin Tent, ACE, as they discuss their black comedy Election. Even in a career full of modern-day greats, Alexander Payne’s 1999 breakout, Election, is still one of his sharpest, funniest, and most unfortunately relevant works. Adapted by Payne and Jim Taylor from Tom Perrotta’s novel, Election follows a bitter high school teacher who goes out of his way to try to prevent an über-ambitious student from becoming class president. Turning in career-highlight performances, Matthew Broderick and Reese Witherspoon dive into their roles with aplomb, and longtime Payne collaborator Kevin Tent, ACE, brings out the film’s acerbic wit and biting drama. Whether viewed as a straightforward high school dramedy or a satirical allegory for American politics at large, Election is an instant-classic that has only increased in acclaim with age.

Lightbox Expo 2024 – Movie Magic: Editing for Animated Films Panel (LA Event)

Pasadena Convention Center 300 East Green Street, Pasadena, United States

Editing an animated film offers the distinct
advantage of cutting the movie with the film's
director before it's shot. Editors work with
storyboards and temporary dialogue to craft and
re-craft the story across many iterations before it
gets locked and moves forward into production.
Meet some of the magicians who help bring your
favorite animated features to life! Guests will
include Mary Blee (The Wild Robot), Susan
Fitzer (Spellbound), Lynn Hobson (Transformers
One), Darren Holmes, ACE (The Iron Giant)
and Bret Marnell, ACE (Ultraman: Rising). The
panel will be moderated by Carolyn
Giardia (Senior Entertainment Technology &
Crafts Editor),

Jennifer’s Body Q&A with Director Karyn Kusama and Editor Plummy Tucker, ACE (Zoom Event)

Zoom/Online see event description for link details, CA, United States

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 director Karyn Kusama and Editor Plummy Tucker, ACE, as they discuss their 2009 black comedy horror film Jennifer's Body. The world was not ready for Jennifer's Body in 2009. This Diablo Cody-scripted, Karyn Kusama-directed film about a possessed teen girl and her friend was so far ahead of its time that its studio, critics, and audiences didn’t quite know what to make of it. However, after the MeToo movement hit, everyone started to catch up and it underwent a critical reappraisal and developed a cult following. As directed by the reliably excellent Kusama and cut by her longtime editor Plummy Tucker, Jennifer's Body is a subversive, devilishly funny vision of the horrors men wreak on teenage girls.

This event will be a Live Zoom Webinar on Monday, October 28 at 8PM ET/5PM PT with two encore livestreams to follow on Vimeo.

Encore 1: Monday, October 28 at 11PM ET/8PM PT

The Bourne Ultimatum Q&A with Director Paul Greengrass and Editor Chirstopher Rouse, ACE (Zoom Event)

Zoom/Online see event description for link details, CA, United States

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 director Paul Greengrass and Editor Chirstopher Rouse, ACE, as they discuss their 2007 action-thriller The Bourne Ultimatum. The climactic chapter of the Bourne Trilogy also happens to be its apex. Satisfyingly closing out Jason Bourne’s quest to find out who he is and what has happened to him, The Bourne Ultimatum finds Greengrass and longtime editor Christopher Rouse, ACE (who won an Oscar for his work) working at their respective peaks and crafting some of the most extraordinary action scenes in modern film history. Employing Greengrass’ trademark docudrama-like style that made United 93 and The Bourne Supremacybefore it such hard-hitting filmic experiences, The Bourne Ultimatum is a Hollywood blockbuster that is both dramatically satisfying and genuinely thrilling.

This event will be a Live Zoom Webinar on Monday, November 4 at 3PM ET/12PM PT with two encore livestreams to follow on Vimeo.

Encore 1: Wednesday, November 6 at 8PM ET/5PM PT
