The Understudy, the project of the July/August 2007 six-week class, was awarded "Best Original Score" by the composers' union of France at the Avignon Film Festival. TEC instructor Kate Eales edited the film after the course, and it was directed by husband-and-wife team Hannah Davis and David Conolly. Next, the film will be screening at the Cambridge Film Festival in September.
Award-winning editor Geoff Richman (Sicko, Murderball, God Grew Tired of Us), Mollie Goldstein (Palindromes, "Stella"), and Cindy Lee (No End in Sight, Grand Jury Prize Winner, Sundance) will all be teaching the July 16th class, in which the class will be editing two films: a documentary called The Pit, executive produced by the Oscar-winning team of Jeffrey Friedman and Rob Epstein; and the off-beat dark comedy The Understudy, starring Richard Kind ("Mad About You", "Curb Your Enthusiasm") and Aasif Mandvi ("The Daily Show").
