EDITOR’S NOTE
This was my first time editing a comedy, so doing it in less than 24 hours was certainly a challenge but one I was very excited to take on. There are also a lot of characters and a lot going on in such a short film, so organization within my project bins and timelines was crucial.
The group of actors also knew each other well and provided a ton of hilarious improvised comedic moments, so when it came down to shot selection I was very intentional about what route I wanted to take for each scene.
