Can I apply to Editing Room Workshop without having participated in Editing Room Feedback?
The original idea is to do both stages in succession, but since the post-production process can vary due to external circumstances, just reach out and we'll do our best to accommodate you.
-
I'm a director and I'm editing by myself. Can I apply?
The program is designed for a team of one editor and one director. However, for Editing Room Workshop, we might be able to match you with an editor from our pool of collaborators.
