Olivier Leif, ACE, of Blue Table Post invites you to an Editing Masterclass for SABBATH QUEEN.
In celebration of the theatrical release of SABBATH QUEEN, Director Sandi DuBowski (Trembling Before G-d), Writer/Editors Francisco Bello ACE & Jeremy Stulberg ACE, and Editor Kyle Crichton are thrilled to present a free, intimate Masterclass to discuss the creative editing process of crafting a longitudinal documentary two decades in the making.
