Picture editor Mark Sadlek cut the pilot, each sea Picture editor Mark Sadlek cut the pilot, each season premiere, multiple episodes each season, and the series finale of #Insecure. In our recent issue of #Cinemontage, we asked Sadlek: As the co-creator and executive producer of the show, did Issa like to join you in the cutting room? His response: 'It was tough being a lead actor because time is limited. She would find that moment any time she could. I would get the call, “Okay, Issa’s got then minutes” and she would come in. One of the great joys of it is that collaboration and her thoughts and just knowing the story so well. Also, her specific thoughts on the music, too, were amazing. She loved coming to hang in the bay. It was an amazing collaboration.'

Message from the National Executive Director, Cath Message from the National Executive Director, Cathy : 

‘One positive development that came out of the 2021 negotiations is the heightened awareness of the need to address the Plan’s long-term sustainability.

Our real bargaining strength could be used to make true quality of life improvement rather than having to constantly be negotiating and fighting over securing enough funding for the MPI pension and health plan.’

Read the latest issue of Cinemontage.org for more from Cathy’s column. ✨

Motion picture editorial employees of Bento Box En Motion picture editorial employees of Bento Box Entertainment, an animation studio owned by Fox, have overwhelmingly elected to unionize with the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE) and its post-production local, the Motion Picture Editors Guild. Bento Box has agreed to recognize the editors’ union after an arbitrator verified that a majority of the employees had signed union authorization cards.

Under card-check agreements, employers agree to honor a union’s majority status on the basis of an independent third party’s confirmation that a majority of the employees have signed statements officially authorizing the union to represent them. After the workers secure union recognition through card-check, the parties begin negotiations on a first union contract.
