Sight, Sound & Story: The 2014 Lineup of Panels and Speakers

Panels at this year's event will include: Anatomy of a Scene: Documentary Editors Deconstruct Their Work, TV is the New Black: Television's Cinematic Revolution, Fast and Furious: Cutting Sports Television, The Wolf of Wall Street' Soundscape from Production Audio to Final Mix and Inside the Cutting Room with Bobbie O'Steen featuring Michael Kahn, A.C.E. The summit will conclude with a gala reception and networking session for over 300 guests, panelists and vendors.

The MEWShop editing summit is amazing because it creates a space for professional editors to come together and talk shop - something that we rarely get to do, says Garret Savage, a 2014 Sight, Sound & Story moderator. I attended last year and found all the panels to be enlightening and inspiring. I loved the variety of topics and discussions. I knew that day that I wanted to get involved in the summit in some way, so I'm thrilled that this year we are presenting the documentary editing panel, and I'm honored to be moderating. Once a great film is done and ready for the public, it is often hard to see all the work that went into it. Our panel has a chance to go behind the final cut and get into the nuts and bolts of how the filmmakers got there.

This special symposium produced by Manhattan Edit Workshop features an extensive selection of Oscar winners, innovators and industry thought leaders, who will lead panels outlining the art and processes of editing film and television, the unique and fast-paced world of editing sports docudramas, and the craft behind sound design.
