GRACE MAREN RYAN

While editing, Zachary and Grace distinguished themselves through their complementary skills and dedication to excellence. The Corner marked their first collaborative endeavor on a feature film as their involvement extended to the production phase, enhancing Zachary's directorial capabilities, where he skillfully shaped the narrative. Grace's support in script supervision and meticulous organization, combined with her foundational scene editing, enabled Zachary to refine the storyline's flow.

Throughout the editing process, which included several revisions and supplementary shoots to meet their standards, they utilized Final Cut Pro for their editing software. This platform allowed them to capitalize on their respective strengths: Grace's proficiency in technical elements, effects, and coloring, alongside Zachary's insight in story pacing, narrative progression, and sound design.

Their collaborative environment is always characterized by an open exchange of ideas, while they vigorously remained committed to exploring innovative approaches to ensure their shared vision was fully realized. This collaborative spirit and commitment to excellence resulted in a film that exemplifies their creativity, editorial talent, and commitment to narrative artistry.
