NEW YORK — Manhattan Edit Workshop, an authorized digital training destination for post production and content creators, has announced its list of guest speakers and panelists for its one-day event, Sight, Sound & Story. The event is scheduled to take place on June 14th at the French Institute in mid-town Manhattan and will celebrate the art of post production.

We'll also screen key scenes from The Wolf of Wall Street - from simple production sound to the final surround mix - with the team who crafted it. And to close this year’s extraordinary show, Michael Kahn, A.C.E. will look at iconic scenes and share stories from his more than 30-year collaboration with Steven Spielberg,”
