We spoke with director Michael Lukk Litwak and editor Joanna Naugle about their collaborative post-production process, and how Adobe’s creative cloud tools played a crucial role in their editing workflow. With the help of Premiere Pro, After Effects, and Frame.io, the filmmakers were equipped with the cutting-edge technology to turn their futuristic vision into a cinematic reality. This genre-bending film challenged its filmmakers to explore new creative frontiers, particularly in their editing process due to the abundance of VFX shots they had to work with.
