The Motion Picture Group Announces New Editor for “HOUNDDOG”
LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Motion Picture Group, Inc. (Pink Sheets:MPRG), a film and entertainment financing and production company, announced today an addition to its team for the completion of the feature film “HOUNDDOG” which premiered last month at The Sundance Film Festival. Due to scheduling conflicts, Sabine Hoffman, the film’s original editor, was replaced by Andrew Marcus. Andrew has edited such extraordinary films as Under the Tuscan Sun, Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood, American Psycho, Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, Much Ado About Nothing, and the Academy Award-winning Howard’s End (9 nominations, 3 awards).
Director, Deborah Kampmeier, stated, “I am grateful to Sundance for acknowledging the potential in such an early cut of my film. The attention, recognition and support they gave me has given our team the confidence and me the opportunity to go back in and complete the film with my vision intact. As hard as it is to lose Sabine, I could not be more excited about working with Andy. His talent is extraordinary and he really gets the film. I feel certain he will be able to bring it to the next level with me.”
Scott Franklin, Executive Producer of the film and CEO of The Motion Picture Group, added, “It was clearly worth the rush in getting the film ready for Sundance, even with the stressful working environment it created. The film would not be as far along as it is today had it not been for the festival’s overwhelming support. We look forward to completing the film with Andy on board and getting it out to the public in the coming months. The willingness of someone as talented as Andy joining the project further reaffirms to us the quality of filmmaking already present in “HOUNDDOG.”
