Memories
“Me, You, Madness” was my first feature film.
Producer, director, and lead actress Louise Linton took an incredible chance on an aspiring feature editor. I had begun as assistant editor on the project when the 2019 Malibu fire forced the production to halt on their scenic set. Upon restarting, the original editor was unavailable, but Louise saw some of the scenes I had cut just for fun and was thoroughly impressed. The rest is in the can!

The job isn’t over after picture lock! Not until the “fat lady sings”. In this case in the final mixing theater at Sugar Studios LA with the producers of “Venus as a Boy” – an incredibly compelling contemporary piece, ahead of it’s cultural time. Writer, director, producer, and lead actor, Ty Hodges, set the scene on fire with his creativity. (2021)
