To The Aotg.com Community,

It is with a heavy heart that we announce we will no longer be updating Aotg.com. Back in 2007, when we started, there was a lack of access to information about film, television, and commercial editing. We wanted to fix that by creating a central location for content about editing to be stored.

Since then, we've watched the amount of content about editing on the internet grow exponentially. We've also watched social media tools come and go with that growth. Does anyone remember Google Wave!? These social media tools changed how people access and search for media and information. People tend to turn to Facebook, Youtube, Twitter, and Instagram for their news and information, and those are all great tools to promote your sites, but as a site that aggregates links to other sites for users, it just doesn't work for us.

We will keep the site live but archive the ability to add links and comments. We will keep our database live with the links for those who desire to use it to search for editing information and research.

Our podcast, The Cutting Room, will move over to the Filmmakeru.com website and will continue to be a place for interviews with editors and other film professionals.

Everyone who worked for Aotg.com loved what we created and are proud that we could help so many editors find content that spoke to them.

I look forward to seeing everyone at the various post events worldwide in the coming years!

Yours truly,
Gordon Burkell
Aotg.com Founder

Thanks to his role in Darren Aronofsky’s The Wrestler, Mickey Rourke’s trophy room will soon need a renovation. The awards that he’s been nominated for, or already won, are piling up, but the man who deserves maybe the most thanks is a name very few are familiar with: Andrew Weisblum. The man employed as the movie’s editor, a role that is always the sorely under-appreciated architect of strong plots and performances, had an indispensable role in constructing Rourke’s performance from.....

On the surface, Marley & Me (being released Christmas Day by Fox 2000 Pictures) is a wacky comedy about the world’s worst dog, but ultimately it’s a thoughtful journey through life. Based on the best-selling memoir by John Grogan, Marley & Me follows John (Owen Wilson), his wife Jenny (Jennifer Aniston) and their relationship with a rambunctious golden lab named Marley. In a story spanning 15 years, the film wrestles with such themes as marriage, children, career and mortality.
