EURO: Jamie Hooper
USA: Eric Brodeur and Jesse Averna
Who better than to have as guests but film editors, the last voice in rewrites. Tonight, EURO’s Jamie Hooper @FingercuffJAMIE, and USA’s Eric Brodeur @ebrodeur and Jesse Avurna @Dr0id answered screenwriters’ questions on all that is editing. Enjoy! @jeannevb
P.S. We have a new transcript site, so the spacing is a bit odd. I started to fix it, but to be honest, it would take me forever. At least all the tweets are here J #cuphalffull

April 10, 2011, 7:17 pm
