FOX STUDIOS – Century City aerial view

 

In 1928, FOX opened their studios in Century City, California. In 1935, FOX merged with 20th Century Pictures and those studios went on to create some of the most memorable films and TV shows of all time. I had the pleasure of working on the FOX lot during the last couple of weeks and took some behind the scenes photos during my stay. Pure Hollywood History!

Shows shot here include: Avatar, The Simpsons, M*A*S*H, The Sound of Music, L.A. Law, Charlie’s Angels, Die Hard, Fight Club, Minority Report, House and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. The sense of history you feel when you walk the lot is indescribable…

This week I start the editing of my next feature film. It’s entitled HEADLOCK and is written and directed by Mark Polish. I cannot divulge much more now…but I know two things. It is the best script I’ve read in many years and it will be the most challenging edit of my life…

HEADLOCK – Spies, Lies and Love

 

I will be documenting the journey of both the production and editorial so please check back for my upcoming BTS blog posts. It will be an insane adventure and I’m proud to be on board.

 

Until next time…
