American Cinema Editors and Manhattan Edit Workshop Present Vibrant Series of Panels and Workshops Aimed at Working and Aspiring Editors.
Moderating a Panel at EditFest NY
EditFest LA was launched with great success last year by ACE (American Cinema Editors) – the honorary guild for editors – and this year they decided to have EditFest NY on June 12th and 13th at the Directors Guild Theater. This was the first event of its kind: two incredible days of panel discussions where many of the most respected and well-known editors analyzed their work and careers for an eager audience of up-and-coming filmmakers.

Post Production's Art School
In 2002, Josh Apter was a freelance Avid editor who also had a few private training clients on the side, a couple of whom were keen on learning Final Cut Pro. "There was always this notion in my head that knowing both programs was going to be an important thing for an editor," he recalls. Apter guessed correctly, for today, Manhattan Edit Workshop (MEW) is thriving as both an Apple authorized training center and an Avid authorized education center, and has just built out its new 2,600-square-foot headquarters at 80 Fifth Avenue in Manhattan.

MEWShop Releases Artist in Residence Podcast to Worldwide Audience through Audible.com
As part of MEWShop’s signature Six Week Art of Editing course, award winning editors act as Artist in Residence – where they curate a selection of films to be viewed and analyzed throughout the workshop and offer insight and advice about the editing profession. Each six week program then closes with an invitation only discussion, about their craft and body of work. “This one night only event is the most popular events we do”, says Josh Apter, “The audience varies, from novices to seasoned post production veterans. And without fail, we end up turning people away at the door.”
