Editing is underway!
Editor Stephen Myers and I are in the editing suite, working full days as of Wednesday.
Monday and Tuesday a group of us went on a location scout trip for our new feature, THE LONELY GOATHERD.
Stephen and I did an initial pass through the rough cut of THE WHOLE TRUTH in about 2.2 days; then we started finessing, adding sound effects and tightening scenes as well as putting scenes in more detailed sequence today.
It's fun and very specific, meticulous work. I am extremely focused on the editing process of TWT, but I enjoy working on more than one project at a time, which is why we're moving into developing our next feature, which we should start shooting in Spring, while also creating our third film, SPARE CHANGE, which I'll be writing along the way through TLG.
I'll have some finessing to do of TLG script which shouldn't take long because it's pretty well finished.
One thing about doing comedy - it's fun to re-live the laughter in the editing room. And the performances, which, in this case are uniformly excellent. We were blessed with a genuinely fabulous, talented, skilled cast, who were also a total delight to work with.
I've learned so much from THE WHOLE TRUTH, and look forward to doing it all over again, using my new knowledge, starting up THE LONELY GOATHERD even before we finish this project.
It's all very exciting.
And of course I'll be particularly excited to see what audiences think of the completed version of THE WHOLE TRUTH!

Great to hear from you CP. Glad things are going smoothly in the editing process. Very eager to see the final product for TWT.
At least now you don't have to practice stealth laughter while re-enjoying the scenes :)
Keep up the great work.

LOL! You're so right! We've been laughing out loud - which is a good sign because we've seen the stuff a bazillion times and still find it funny.
And the fact that it's going smoothly is pretty exciting re: the outcome. No nightmares, no surprises! Just lots of stuff with which to create the film!
