Seeking: Bi-Lingual Spanish editor for Spiritual History Short DOC From: thestudio1101@yahoo.com
Manhattan based independent filmmaker looking for one who can devote some time. All expenses paid and fee for work is negotiable. This is a film with my personal take on what it means to be from Cuba but grow up in NYC and visit Cuba frequently. To complete this poetic piece, the story craves a more technically experienced editor than I am. Previous knowledge of the IFP market would be nice. Shot in Cuba and USA it is a story giving visibility to the spirit of the Cuban people and the smoke of the Cuban cigar that gives visibility to the spiritual connection with diverse cultures through all cycles of time. I need this rough cut for the IFP market and other funding consortiums. Shot on min-dv I am using the FCP software. Thank you very much, Marilyn Perez
