EDITORIAL TEAM
Editor: Jan Kovac
Post Producer: Jeffrey Harlacker
1st Assistant Editor: Kevin Bailey

NOTES
Edited on Final Cut Pro X, an unusual choice for a studio feature at the time. The editorial team's workflow was notable enough to be featured in Off the Tracks, a documentary about FCPX in professional post-production. The post team also led a filmmaker Q&A and workflow demonstration presented by Light Iron and Apple at ArcLight Hollywood. Esther subsequently taught FCPX workflows at the Motion Picture Editors Guild as instructor for a full-day seminar.
