Woman Undone (1996)
Promo
When I was an editor I was hired to create a promo for a film distributing convention for "A Woman Undone". What was most enjoyable about the job was that I could use any background music I wanted because the finished product would not be seen by any paying customers. I chose music by Bernard Herrmann written for a 1971 British film, The Night Digger. I was very proud of my final product. I feel that I made the Showtime film intriguing and suspenseful when it may have not been. A bit of trivia is that One of the actresses, Georgann Johnson went to school with my mother, Marjorie Talle.

The Woods (2006)
The Woods An unknown masterpiece
I rented this film, knowing nothing about it. I knew Patricia Clarkson from other indie films and she has always delivered a fine performance. The plot promised an eerie ride so I was game for the ride. Although the story became an often told tale I was extremely taken aback by how originally it was being told. Most importantly, I was thoroughly engaged by Agnes Bruckner's performance---her beautiful face entranced the camera as it did me---she made the movie. Despite this story having been told in many different ways over the decades, if you love macabre films, I wholly recommend this film because of the inventive direction and the sensitive performance of Ms Bruchner.
Nuff said, Dean Merriman, former film maker and editor.
