Fischer Edit’s Carlos Lamas Edits Local Hip Hop Video

Being that I’m in public relations normally I would execute some kind of formal release, but Carlos won’t really open up about this. He just sent this video but he won’t give me the facts. So there you have it…no details.

But here’s what I would have written if he’d have let me:

Fischer Edit’s Assistant Editor Carlos Lamas edited this new video featuring Lazerbeak and Mike Mictlan of Minneapolis-based hip hop group-extraordinaire Doomtree. This video directed by Isaac Gale coincides with the release of their collaborative album “Hand Over Fist.”

To celebrate the duo will be holding their CD Release party Saturday, September 28th at the 7th St. Entry. For more info click here.

Premiere of Katrina Rescue Film Edited by Fischer Edit’s Katie Carpenter

On the three year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina “Left Behind Without a Choice” premieres. “Left Behind Without a Choice” is a feature-length documentary about the animal rescue effort in New Orleans focusing particularly on a group of Minnesotans who volunteered through Utah based Best Friends Animal Society.

Fischer Edit’s Katie Carpenter offered her expertise to Director Kim Walsh-Borgan’s project, putting together an 80-minute film she is excited to share with the world. “I’m glad that it’s finally here. It’s been a long process but I’ve learned through all of it.” Carpenter like many arriving to tomorrow’s premiere is also quick to point out the reality that many may have forgotten. “It’s exciting to celebrate after spending time and effort, but it’s also important to spread the message that there’s still a lot of need.”

Throughout the editing process, Carpenter went through over 20+ hours of interviews and b-roll footage as there were so many different stories to tell. “It was hardest to cut some of the characters because each person interviewed had something very special to share from their experiences in New Orleans,” she explains. And of the animals themselves? “There were some tears. It’s very touching…I tried to craft a sense of hope from this story.”
“Left Behind Without a Choice” premieres with a red-carpet event Friday, August 29, 2008 at 7PM in two theaters at Carmike Cinemas in Oakdale. The premiere is sponsored in part by Fearless Filmmakers of Minneapolis and Animal Ark, a Minnesota-based no-kill shelter. Proceeds from the event will benefit the shelter: tickets are available at the theater or can be reserved here.
