For the webinar Misha used footage from Handicapped John, a short comedy he co- created & edited as examples in the webinar. You can see it here:
Misha’s latest venture is selling the dailies from Handicapped John for $30. He thinks students and editors-in-training could get good editing practice from cutting the film the same one he demos in the webinar. “They could also use the finished cut for their reels,” he wrote me. Contact Misha if interested at the e-address below.
This past fall Misha was hired as an additional editor on Sofia a feature with Christian Slater, Donald Sutherland, and Timothy Spall which he edited at Nu Boyana studio in Bulgaria. Here are a couple of photos he took.

What Andika says about her work
I am passionate about helping people succeed in their small businesses. You have to know what triggers people to buy or to do business with an individual or a company. Video is the perfect tool to create credibility, showcase your talent and distinguish yourself from the competition.
I like the creative side of video making. I am still learning new things every day and that is what keeps me going. Also, I enjoy making new connections and meeting new people from all kinds of backgrounds.
I want to see you – here! If you’re do any kind of editing – picture, sound, assisting, VFX, negative – on any kind of piece – student, infomercial, feature, doc, drama, etc. – I would love to post a photo of you in your cutting room, wherever it is. Feel free to send any kind of photo: professional, arty, funny, etc. Here’s an example:
David Mallory, Independent editor, Bellingham, Washington.
My intent here is to bring us editors out of the shadows. What better way to bring editors out from the shadows than to throw a light on us in our cutting rooms? See past entries in the right hand column on this page. The most current photo stays on top until I post the next entry which occurs immediately. When I get a flurry of photos I hold off for a 2-3 weeks so each person gets a good amount of time at the top of the scroll.
It’s a good way to promote yourself as you can list your email, website, etc. Send in your photo and info by clicking here or clicking on the hyperlink under Your Cutting Room View on the right at any time.

Latest project: NRITYAGRAM: For the Love of Dance, a short documentary, screens January 25th at Lincoln Center’s Dance on Camera Festival. Susan emailed me that “It was truly a joy to work with the director, a long time dance photographer and reviewer for the New York Times, Nan Melville, and the film and subject were simply gorgeous.”
The movie is about, well, Alastair Macauley says it best in his review in the NY Times: “Nrityagram was built in India in recent years as a dance village by Protima Bedi, a vivid socialite who changed her life when she became an enthusiast for the Odissi genre of Indian dance. Yes, a dance village! Fabulous idea; glorious – though modest and practical – fact. Many intelligent points are made, and much of the dance footage, not least during the closing credits, is spellbinding. I wanted the film to be twice as long.”
