Final Cut for Real (The Act of Killing)
Director: jacob Perlmutter & manon ouimet

Life, death and making meaning are the heart of a beautiful and often very witty film about an aging couple who, after an accident, face the inevitability of impermanence and seek a deep peace in their relationship while they still can.

Thirty years after a chance encounter, Maggie and Joel, aged 75 and 84, are still very much in love. But their relationship is not without complications. Born in the hard-boiled Bronx, Joel Meyerowitz is a world-renowned photographer with major exhibitions and 40 books to his name. British-born Maggie Barrett is a talented but less recognized artist and writer. There is a knot of unease in their relationship, which is further strained when Maggie falls and breaks her leg and Joel must take on her caregiving. In the shadow of mortality, each with a long and dramatic life behind them, the hard truths of life together provoke in Maggie and Joel an attempt to find a shared inner peace while there is still time. With unique access to the couple's lives, directors Jacob Perlmutter and Manon Ouimet and have created a profoundly moving film about living, creating and loving.

A mixture of live concert and documentary. This is a film about the legendary string quartet, Kronos.

Directed by Oscar nominee Sam Green and editing maestro Joe Bini, I cut a number of sequences for the film.

A Thousand Thoughts will be premiering later this year at Sundance, and will then go on tour globally with the quartet.
