Request for Question Clarification by ericynot-ga on 21 Feb 2003 06:32 PST

Your question is a little too avant garde for me - in other words, I'm
not sure I understand it (that's sometimes OK when I watch a film, but
not such a good thing when trying to craft a research strategy.) Are
you an editor seeking employment opportunities and like-minded
colleagues with whom to network, or are you looking for editors to
work with you on a project of some sort?

Please explain more fully what information would constitute a suitable
answer to your question.

Thanks.

Good luck,

For what it's worth, most of the editors I know think that it is (or
can be) an artform. However I am not sure how you will find quite what
you are looking for as the terms you are using are very subjective -
"new wave editing paradigms" sounds like some bizarre marketing speak
in an Avid brochure or something :)

There are heaps of editors forums online, although most are populated
by the more factory editors (news and drama) rather than feature
editors...

Good luck.
