*PANELISTS SUBJECT TO CHANGE DUE TO WORK SCHEDULING Moderated by ALAN HEIM, ACE
President of the Motion Picture Editors Guild, Alan Heim, ACE, was born in The Bronx, NY, and spent a lot of Saturday afternoons at the six movie theaters that graced his neighborhood. He was the school projectionist in grade school, and then at 12 he got his first paying job as summer projectionist for the Police Athletic League in the 41st Precinct, later better known as “Fort Apache.” He attended CCNY, discovered the Film School where he was mentored by the great George Stoney and took most of his courses at night due to very small enrollment in the day session. After a stint in the Army, where he was a music and sound editor, he worked on several NYC-based television series which led to sound editing on The Pawnbroker and other films for Sidney Lumet. He then did two movies for Lumet as picture editor and somewhere in there took over the finishing of the original Producers. A TV special, Liza with a Z, won him an Emmy® nomination and Bob Fosse an Emmy. He edited three films for Fosse: Lenny, All That Jazz and Star 80. In his free time he squeezed in Godspell, The Twelve Chairs and Network and shared an Emmy for his work on the TV mini series, Holocaust. He moved to Los Angeles in 1994 where he worked on American History X, The Notebook, Alpha Dog and, most recently, I Saw the Light. Alan won an Oscar, BAFTA® and Eddie Award for All That Jazz and was nominated for an Oscar for Net- work. He was nominated for an Emmy for Introducing Dorothy Dandridge and Grey Gardens and won Eddies for both shows. Alan previously served as ACE president for four two-year terms.
