ABOUT THIS EVENT

In this week's webinar & Q&A, Riccardo Bacigalupo (BECTU PP&F Branch Secretary & 1st Assistant Editor on Films such as Mission:Impossible - Fallout, Kingsman:The Secret Service & The Golden Circle) talks with Zack Arnold, an award-winning Hollywood Film & TV Editor (Cobra Kai, Empire, Burn Notice, Underground & Glee), & the creator of the Optimize Yourself program & podcast.

They will talk about working in Post Production in the US & the UK, the similarities, the differences, & why the way we all work in Post needs to continue to change so we can get a better work life balance & be healthier, happier people. They also will discuss how the Covid-19 pandemic might just be the shake up the Industry needs to make this happen.
