Episode 1 (untitled doc. project)

I'm editing episode 1 right now. It's going a bit slower then expected. I think I slightly over shot, that's why it's taking me so long to finish.

The lesson's learned for the 2nd episode.
In film watching news, I've been watching a show on Netflix called The Story of Film.
It's been really interesting to watch someone's who've very passionate about it do a such a detailed and in depth 15 episode run. He starts with Edison, Meles and the Lumiere brothers and goes through each decade beautifully deconstructing the styles, themes and techniques of each decade. He compares and contrasts films and bounces back in forth in film history to do so. He gets some decent interviews from some influential directors and writers too. I highly recommend this series which is on streaming Netflix. A must for any serious film fan.
