That's because a new project consumes me now. I ve spent over two years filming and editing it. It s finally picture locked. Debbie now sits in the editing room doing thrilling things like redigitizing the footage over and over again because somehow or other our goddurn non-linear editing system has been reading wrong time code numbers. He s doing it to precise timings.
Any significant change wrecks havoc and creates a tidal wave of extra work.
Because I don t want to tempt fate and find we need to make any changes. It s just the insecure artist in me will never be satisfied. Now that we re picture locked, I m haunted by editing choices we didn t make. It s like the awful nagging feeling you get in the cab ride to the airport when you re going away on a long trip and you think you've forgotten to pack something critical. Still, I have to show the fine cut to some people.
