Agenda (subject to change and availability of artists) -
6:45- 7:15PM - Stump the Gurus
Join guest Gurus Michael Kammes, John Knowles. Hayden Hillier Smith and Monica Daniel as they will attempt to answer all of your questions and solve all of your problems concerning Resolve, FCPX, Avid, Premiere Pro, getting a job and Networking. And anything else you can think of. If they can't solve your problem or answer your question, then you go home with a problem, but you still got out of the house, so that's not a bad thing.
7:20-8:15PM - Editing DARK MATTER - Jordan Goldman ACE and Joe Leonard ACE
Apple+ series DARK MATTER is about a physicist in Chicago warped into an alternate version of his life, leaving him to fight to return to his life to prevent the alternate version of himself from taking over his family. This obviously produces many challenges for the storyteller as well as the viewer. Editors Jordan Goldman and Joe Leonard were tasked with helping us make sense of it all. They will show clips and take questions.
 About Joe Leonard ACE
Joe Leonard, ACE started out as a filmmaker using Final Cut on indie films in the aughts before a series of consequential decisions and fortunate bounces led him to THIS timeline where he is allowed the opportunity to cut television. On GLEE, he met his amazing wife. During AMERICAN HORROR STORY his daughter was born (and he thereafter foreswore horror). Many events conspired to extend this path to the present, only some of which he can take credit for. Cutting THE MAN IN THE HIGH CASTLE during the 2016 election, and GASLIT during the 2020 one has only increased his sense that we live in some kind of simulation, or under the benevolent dictatorship of a sly and clever god. Currently at work on DEATH BY LIGHTNING, the story of President James Garfield's assassination and assassin and... hoping it is not too prescient. Joe2 disappeared after highjacking a plane and parachuting into the Cascades with $2 million. All other Joe variants became quiet dog owners fiddling with typewriters.
 About Jordan Goldman ACE
In this World, Jordan Goldman, ACE has worked for over 25 years in Hollywood, editing over 100 episodes of television drama, ranging from HOMELAND to TERRIERS to DARK MATTER. His keen eye for performance and strong sense of story have earned him an Emmy and an American Cinema Editors Eddie. Jordan is also the author of the very helpful book How To Avoid The Cutting Room Floor: An editor’s advice for on-camera actors.
In World 2, Jordan was tragically killed when his Interceptor was hijacked by road pirates in the Wasteland following the Great Collapse.
8:15PM- 8:35PM - Break
This is the most important part of the show. It's networking time. This is a great opportunity to not only ask questions and get problems solved, but to meet people that just might change your life. Special thanks to Cornelius Miller for donating snacks and drinks.
8:35PM-9:30PM - Editor Simon Smith ACE
As of this moment Simon will the show the evacuation from CHERNOBYL, the prison break from ANDOR, and then a couple of ‘my favorite edits’ - DON’T LOOK NOW and THE WOLF OF WALL STREET. He also says he will talk about how he keeps a reference library of edits on his computer and twitter account.
Hayden Hillie Smith will moderate.

Metro Red Line
Yes, Los Angeles has a subway and if possible you ought to use it. Riders are dropped of at Sunset and Vermont and then it is a walk of several blocks and uphill to get to the Theatre. The Park has a gated stairway ending at Barnsdall Ave, just behind the strip mall. It's the only access point from this side, but it is often locked. There is long, tree-shaded stairway leading from Hollywood Blvd to the Gallery Theatre and this area is sometimes shared with a homeless population. The best route for people who use mobility devices is the sidewalk along the Barnsdall Park road access. More info on the Red Line can be found here.
PARKING: Parking is FREE. There is ample parking on top of hill near the Art Park. Parking extends around the perimeter of the Park. NOTE: Please park your car diagonally even though the spaces are not marked that way. If there are no spaces to park at top, then use parking lot at bottom of hill near Hollywood Blvd. Click HERE to download a PDF(300K) of the grounds that points out the parking areas and includes other helpful hints.
