FIRST CUT LAB

First Cut Lab is a comprehensive training & consultancy programme supporting audiovisual professionals in Europe and worldwide, and their feature films at the editing stage. Created in 2015, First Cut Lab is run by Tatino Films - a company that also initiated the Full Circle Lab and the Pop Up Film Residency... First Cut Lab was founded by its current director Matthieu Darras, together with Alessandro Gropplero and editor consultant Benjamin Mirguet. Julie Marnay works as program manager, whereas Naomi Levari and Wim Vanacker are involved as editorial consultants... By providing a creative framework of exchanges that is simultaneously safe and challenging, First Cut Lab aims at enhancing the artistic achievement of the films, and at the same time at fostering their potential of international circulation. Participants receive expert advise from editor consultants and industry advisors chosen according to the specific needs of each film.
