SUMMARY:EDIT VERZUS: Two editors enter. One timeline survives.
DESCRIPTION:Two editors enter. One timeline survives. \nOn Friday\, June 5 at The Fruit in Durham\, LOOK DIFFERENT is hosting EDIT VERZUS — a live doc editing competition\, and the closing event of the SDF Convening. \nWe need one filmmaker’s project to make it happen. That could be you. \nTwo post-production powerhouses will go head to head\, cutting a live fundraising sizzle from the same footage. Up to five hours of your material\, two very different cuts\, and 40 minutes on the clock. There will be hype crews and color commentary elevating this unseen and under appreciated process to the main event. In the end the audience decides who wins. \nWhat you get out of it: \n\nTwo finished fundraising sizzle\, cut by a pro editor\, that you can use\nA room full of producers\, directors\, and funders seeing your work
