EditCon Raffle Winner 2020 – Jon Anctil

EdiCon 2020

EditCon Raffle Winner 2020 - Jon Anctil

EdiCon 2020

One crisp December morning, I woke up to a constant pinging sound as my phone started going off. Bleary eyed, I check my notification screen – I had won the CCE raffle to go to EditCon! This came as a surprise, as I haven’t even won a scratch-and-win in about fifteen years. But hey – free trip to Toronto? Meet other edit-cave dwellers and talk shop all weekend? Sounds good to me!

So I packed my bag, kissed my wife goodbye, and left chilly Vancouver to arrive in… warmer Toronto.

EditCon 2020 logo

I was expecting The Center of The Universe to be a city of snow drifts, parkas, and traffic chaos. Instead it was pleasantly mild, everyone wore toques, and you have Uber here! Sweet mercy.

TIFF Bell Lightbox Sign Toronto

Uber is a revelation to me, having come from the land where ride sharing had been verboten until about a month ago.

Anyways, I digress.

I landed, got settled at the hotel, and found a few old friends and met some new ones at the Out of Towners gathering Friday night. After some jibber jabber, a few beers and a pit stop at a shawarma place for a wrap the size of a trashcan Mac, it was time for bed. Big day tomorrow!

I slept in. Well, not for too long, but enough to have to miss breakfast at the hotel. Fortunately, I was right next door to the TIFF Bell Lightbox theatre (dare I say, The Center of the Center of the Universe?) so I scurried over and had time for some coffee and snacks and met up with some of the other Vancouver crew that had come all this way. Van City represent!

Fueled up on caffeine and pastries, it was time for some educama—edimicat—some learning. The first panel, expertly moderated by Jonathan Dowler, focused on reality and factual editing and featured four editors – Elianna Borsa, Jenypher Fisher, Baun Mah, and Ian Sit – who are all much braver than I.

Why do I say that?

Well, if I wound up with 1600 hours of dailies across a whole season as Jenypher does on her series Jade Fever, I would run for the hills. These four shared great stories about working on fast-paced and exciting reality and factual productions, trying to balance incredibly tight deadlines (like delivering with a few hours to air kind of tight) with pulling the best stories out of so much footage.

There was a common theme from all the editors that you need to get very creative with your footage to tell the true stories of what’s happening. Jenypher showed a scene from Jade Fever and described it as, and I’m paraphrasing a bit but it’s true, something like 90% true and 80% fake.

The story was correct – a buyer visited the work site and bought a chunk of Jade – but the shots needed to tell that story were pulled from many different sequences across two shooting days.

Or, in a similar vein, Elianna Borsa and Baun Mah described taking sequences from The Amazing Race Canada where an event happened over some 45 minutes and condensing that to 45 seconds on-screen without losing clarity of story.

It was incredible stuff. To be honest, reality/factual is not a genre I am keen to work in that much, but this turned out to be my favourite panel of the day.

2020 EditCon Panel 2 no script no problem on stage at TIFF
2020 EditCon Panelists #2

The next panel was This Year in Dramatic Film, featuring three editors with recent critically acclaimed feature films: Mathieu Bouchard-Malo, Lara Johnston, and Sabrina Pitre. They all shared anecdotes about their career paths that had led them to feature work, and some of the challenges and successes working on their latest films. One interesting tidbit they all discussed was the use of test screenings. Freaks which Sabrina edited had 14 test screenings between Canada and LA!

The directors didn’t always take the screening notes as gospel, but they were great opportunities to help find the flow and tone of the stories that resonated with the viewers. Lara screened her film Mouthpiece with editor friends for many of the same reasons. All the editors agreed that it was an occasionally painful but always important part of the process.

Also, as a random aside, Mathieu spoke en français (moderator Justin Lachance translated) and my high-school French teacher would be pleased to know that even though I haven’t opened my Bescherelle since 2003, I could still mostly understand him.

After a lunch break and more coffee we dove right into the third panel, Timing is (Almost) Everything. Canadian comedy treasure Elvira Kurt moderated and spoke with James Bredin (Schitt’s Creek), Jonathan Eagan (Workin’ Moms) and Marianna Khoury (Baroness von Sketch Show). These three editors all have worked on a wide variety of comedies, but the goal is always the same: make it funny.

I found the discussions around workflow on sketch-coms like Baroness very interesting. The editors don’t work on specific episodes but instead would grab a sketch they wanted to do. Later, once the sketches were cut together, only then would the producers/CBC decide which sketches would go into which episodes. Cool!

2020 EditCon Panelist 3 group
2020 EditCon Panelists #3

I’ve heard it said that talking about comedy isn’t funny, so it’s a good thing Elvira Kurt kept cracking wise across the panel and kept the discussion fast and flowing. She also inadvertently nailed a great point: she would ask questions around the challenge of making something funny, or finding the comedy in a certain moment, and all three panelists kind of had the same answer: you just sorta do.

Jon Anctil

Associate member of the Canadian Cinema Editors

Comedy is subjective, personal, and tricky, and it really boils down to experimenting with different scenes in different ways and getting feedback from lots of different people to really pull the best laugh out of a bit. As an example of challenging comedy, Marianna showed a sketch from Baroness von Sketch Show called Unfounded. The sketch is hilarious but also revolves around police processing of sexual assault cases – not exactly a laugh-a-minute topic. She went into detail about how they addressed such an intense and important topic and used humour to shine a light on a real problem.

It was immensely fascinating.
2020 EditCon Panel 4 no script no problem on stage at TIFF
2020 EditCon Master Series

The last panel was a one-on-one conversation between moderator Sarah Taylor and Susan Shipton. Susan has cut eight films with Atom Egoyan, has recently worked in television on Burden of Truth and The Expanse, and now working the Netflix series Ginny and Georgia. It was a fun, casual conversation about Susan’s career up to this point and her experience working across a variety of different projects.

I’d love to go into more detail, but my notes for this panel have been lost in the shuffle of moving apartments and my memory is just fuzzy enough that I’d probably start making things up.

Things wrapped up with some draw prizes, then we stretched our legs and found some bevvies in the lounge and discussed all the gems we had heard today.

It was a long day, but I found myself walking out of the Lightbox invigorated and excited about what we do for a living. It was great to hear stories across all different genres and formats and reminded me that there is so much more to learn still. But reassuringly, my main takeaway was that no matter the subject, genre, schedule, or format, we’re all still trying to tell the best stories we can.

As a Vancouver resident, time and money to travel east to Toronto are not always easy to arrange, so I’d like to thank the CCE for their generous gift of bringing me to EditCon this year.

I am very grateful for the opportunity and I hope that the CCE continues to hold fantastic events (and raffles!) like EditCon to bring editors from all over Canada together.

Winner for Best Editing at VSFF 2020 – Hayley Sawatzky

Hayley Sawatsky Editor won best editing at Vancouver Short Film Festival

Winner for Best Editing at VSFF 2020 - Hayley Sawatzky

Hayley Sawatsky Editor won best editing at Vancouver Short Film Festival

The Canadian Cinema Editors were proud sponsors of the Vancouver Short Film Festival and were honoured to present the Best Editing Award.

Hayley Sawatzky was the recipient of the award for her work on the short film Laura

Laura, a young half Indigenous woman undergoes a conversation with her lawyer Mr. Wilson to determine how to present her case before the court. Mr. Wilson attempts to keep the process positive, but his ignorance begins to make Laura question her identity and her place in society.

Congratulations Hayley for your win!

We are pleased to introduce you to Hayley below:

Q: How long have you been an editor?

Just under two years! 

Q: What genres have you worked on?

Mostly dramatic shorts, however, I’m very excited to be working on a few comedy projects this year!

Q: What has been an interesting/favourite project so far?

“Laura” was a wonderful project to work on and I learned so much from the director Kaayla Whachell. It was daunting to work on such an important story but I am so proud of the final product.

That said, the most recent project I worked on was a Crazy8s film by Andy Alvarez called “Sol“, as anyone who has participated in a Crazy8s will tell you, it was defiantly an experience I’ll always remember. Working with Andy was so wonderful, she and Studio 104 did an incredible job prepping for all stages of production, I can’t wait for everyone to see it!

Q: What are you currently working on?

I am working on another project with Kaayla Whachell and two Telus Storyhive short series. I will also be a consulting editor on an animated short, I am very excited to explore animation!

C’est rapide et simple, vous n’avez qu’à cliquer sur le lien et suivre les instructions. Partagez avec nous les montages dont vous êtes fiers !

Parlez-en autour de vous et invitez vos collègues, qu’ils soient membres ou non du CCE, à prendre part à ce grand gala qui souligne le talent des monteurs canadiens. Membre ou non du CCE, vous pouvez aussi participer au jury des Prix du CCE en vous inscrivant ici. Nous recherchons des monteurs francophones pour chacune des catégories.
