//Chris Became a Filmmaker Because
The power of combining the art and the technical (left and right brains) to create a story and illusion of reality from the meshing and molding of sound and picture with the end result of bringing the viewer to an emotional destination. :-) I need to "edit" that sentence down to a better place.
//General Interests

As you are aware film editing is an art, as demonstrated by your talent in this great project "Butterfly Circus". As Stanley Kubrick said: "everything that precedes editing is merely a way of producing film to edit".Congratulations Son.

Hey Brother! Don't think I have thanked you or congratulated you yet on doing such a fantastic job editing "Liv". Often one of the unsung heroes of the film making process is the editor. Most people don't realize how IMPORTANT a good editor is. Your skill & talent has shined through in this piece, as it did in "Stained". It was wonderful to have you work on this project. Your edits helped to create the overall look, feel & emotional depth which everyone has been experiencing through watching this film. Great job & I look forward to working with you again on future projects. Hope you are well.
