Interviews with the industry’s hottest editors and filmmakers – Malcolm Jamieson (Down to the Bone/Treme), David Zieff (Metallica: Some Kind of Monster), Ken Schretzmann (Toy Story 3), Andrew Weisblum (Black Swan) and more

New York, New York – June 14, 2011 – Manhattan Edit Workshop (Mewshop), the cutting-edge authorized digital-training destination for post-production and content creators, takes viewers behind the scenes of the 2011 ACE EditFest NY event held at the Director’s Guild of America Theater in New York City this past weekend. Mewshop’s signature Padumentaries – first unleashed on the floor of NAB 2011 - were shot with a hand-made iPad shoulder rig named the “Padcaster.” The inventive device captured the highlights of this year’s editing and filmmaking extravaganza, giving viewers a sneak peek into the blockbuster event with sound bites and interviews from the industry’s top talent.
