Discussion with Kate Sanford, Editor - Boardwalk Empire

Kate will bring a new angle by talking to us from the perspective of episodic television having worked on The Wire, Treme and currently Boardwalk Empire. She will touch on editing and workflow on the episodic format, sustaining story over a long form show, juggling multiple storylines and character arcs, working in tandem, working with different directors and liaising with the script supervisor through all of that.

Script Book Show and Tell

Everyone has a different system to organize all the information. Whether you work with paper or with a computer, there are different ways of notation, a multitude of shorthand and abbreviations, different methods of lining and yes - even varying widths of columns....Most of us tailor our paperwork to how we best organize our brains and we go to great lengths to turn in a good book and keep our editors happy. So open your brains and bring in an editor's script book and share with each other how, and why, you do what you do - not just the forms, but how you fill them in!

Unusual Breakdowns for Complex Scripts with Mary Cybulski

Mary has worked on films such as The Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind, Synecdoche, NY, The Ice Storm, Taking Woodstock, to name just a few. She says: "Every movie has its particular thing that you just know will cause you trouble. How do you wrap your mind around those situations and design a system to help you express and track those problem threads?"
