Miracle of miracles. Despite tremendous odds and several close calls, I shepherded my first short film through the hell that is production. We wrapped end of May. And I spent the last six weeks doing a play in Brooklyn, New York. Just returned back to Los Angeles a few days ago. All that time away has seen me enter an ideal, objective headspace to conclude this inaugural filmmaking journey. I'm ready to get this bad boy edited.
Only problem is: I know no editors. My DP was a newcomer to LA, from Philly, and therefore can't refer me to anyone local. And so I turn to this fine and highly informative forum for any suggestions or leads that readers may have.
In truth, I'm looking for an editor / mentor. Someone willing to educate and enlighten a newcomer to film as he or she helps me craft my film in post.
I'd like to start editing this project by the end of the month. Can make the script and technical details available to any interested parties. For now, here's the working synopsis of the project, entitled "Bobo Noir:"
"Bobo Noir (French for "spoiled Parisian brat") is a pastry arts dropout with a heart of gold (or opal, his birthstone). His dream: become the black John Belushi. His skill: awful-awesome. His parents -- a Sorbonne professor of 19th-century Namibian watercolors and a Montgolfier Prize Winner in toy plane aviation -- have banished him from the family olive oil fortune. But a one-way ticket to Los Angeles, and a cousin convalescing in Mexico, have given him a summer in SoCal to pursue his funnyman dreams."
Holler at me if interested -- thanks.

Have done that -- no success thus far.
