As I’ve been accused of copying other editors in my previous projects for not posting my early work here. I thought I’d get ahead of the curve and try to be the first to announce an Acolyte film cut. This may work out to be 2 movies but the way it’s going, I’ll be able to turn this show into a true murder mystery.
I’ve already edited the first 4 episodes the currently run at 1:08:36h so if the next 4 have shorter runtimes it should make a nice single film length.
