Event Summary:

ACE Connect-Support Committee are pleased to present a new program to those who need a mindful helpful hand, ACE Summer of Support Sundays. This series is open to all members and editing friends. If you are not an ACE member and are interested in attending one of these events, please email Eliza at the ACE office (eliza@americancinemaeditors.com) for registration details. The last several years have been incredibly difficult for so many in our industry. All of the uncertainty around jobs and the future of our craft have created anxiety and overwhelm, and sometimes it can all feel like too much. Thanks to your generous donations these Summer of Support Sunday sessions are FREE to all those who need help to reduce the overwhelm and take back control of their circumstances. Each Sunday at 4pm PT from June 1st to EditFest Weekend August 24th, we will be holding a variety of mindfulness sessions both online and in-person. Come try out different techniques to help cope with the mental stress of these trying times. If you find that one connects with your sensibilities, you can pursue a further journey with our mindfulness specialists.
