Sebastian Junger, co-director, said “Editing and finishing our film at Goldcrest was really one of the most gratifying aspects of the entire project. The technical expertise that was made available to us was just amazing, the creative sensitivity to the project and subject matter were crucial to our success, and last – but not least – the sense of being in a family was tremendously reassuring. Restrepo was my first film, and I don’t think I could have done it without the incredible enthusiasm, support and friendship of virtually everyone I met there. I really can’t imagine how my experience with post production could have been better.”nnnnGoldcrest’s Spitzer commented “This year Goldcrest was privileged to work with filmmakers whose films show a deep love of humanity and phenomenal craftsmanship. These feature documentarians shot on a wide array of media and frame rates and all finished to HD masters to large screen projection in our DI theaters. The finishing was done on our Quantel Pablo IQs and framerate conversions were done using Dark Energy. Goldcrest was proud to create workflows individual to the creative and technical needs of each film.”nnAbout Goldcrest PostnLocated in the West Village, GOLDCREST POST opened its doors to the New York film community in 2000.
