Gary Walkow
“I am an American filmmaker living in Cambridge. I have won the Grand Prize at the Suundance Festival and have made many indie features.
I am currently editing and doing post on a feature film that I just shot in Los Angeles. I am looking for people to help me with sound editing, sound design, and visual effects. This is a micro-budget feature. There is no pay but I will give appropriate credit, we glad to share my knowledge with anyone who helps, and the film I believe will get wide exposure. People working with me in the past have made contacts that have been very beneficial.”
If you are interested then please contact us on cifa@cambridgefilmmakers.co.uk and we will forward your details on to Gary.
