Meet Me in Montenegro

Co-editor Linnea Saasen never edited a film before and taught herself effects by learning through internet forums: "Alex [Alex Holdridge] and Robert [Robert Murphy, the cinematographer] were editing and I was like, I should also because it will be faster if I can help too. I went on Lynda.com and I learned how to edit and of course, after hundreds of hours of editing, you become pretty good at it. (...) I always have that attitude [where] I think that I can do it, whatever it is. When it's about sky replacement or any kind of visual effect, just go to video co-pilot or linda.com and listen to a ten-year-old kid from Ohio that tells you how you do it. Attention to detail [is very important to me] - I want things to look good." Co-editor Alex Holdridge: "She was faster than we were and we liked her assemblies better. There's millions of filmmakers out there doing the same thing, getting on YouTube, 'How do we make that? How do we do that?'"[Interview with Stephen Saito, 2015]
