Event Summary:

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.**
