April 22nd: Simon the editor hasn’t been in touch for three weeks… I wonder if/when Simon will get in touch…

April 25th: I call Simon and he starts another editing job as an assistant on a new feature in a couple of weeks which means he’ll be able to get me an EDL from Avid then.

Yesterday the EDL turned up from Simon. Yes, nearly six weeks after April 25th. I’ll try importing it into Final Cut Pro at the weekend and conforming my rushes to it. It’s bound to be easy, isn’t it? Taking information from one editing program and importing it into another? Yes. Easy peasy.

Bwahahahaha!

Meanwhile, I’ve finished the press kit in advance (four photos at 300dpi, biogs, synopsis, etc) and the website is looking fine (though I do say so myself). Go look. Plus someone else wants to screen Fate & Fortune in London on June 27th and I’ll actually be able to go along. Yay! It’s not all slog, you know. Sometimes there’s a moment of success.
