PostWorks, New York Congratulates Client Filmmakers on Selection for the 2005 Tribeca Film Festival

NEW YORK, April 21 /PRNewswire/ -- PostWorks, New York today congratulated several of its clients for having their feature films selected as part of the 2005 Tribeca Film Festival. "Fierce People," "Gay Sex in the 70s," "Life on the Ledge," "Red Doors" and "Rikers High" all have collaborated with PostWorks for various aspects of post-production in preparing for their world premieres at the festival. PostWorks also has a working history with Tribeca selection "Mad Hot Ballroom," having provided online and color correction services to prepare the documentary for its premiere earlier this year at the Slamdance Film Festival.

"During the past four years, while we've been building the infrastructure and assembling the staff to offer New York's best digital finishing services for television, features and documentaries, the Tribeca Film Festival has grown up right in our neighborhood -- and become one of the city's most anticipated annual cultural events," began PostWorks' president Billy Baldwin. "We're very proud to have contributed to each of these films, and share our sincere thanks and best wishes with the teams behind each one."

When Griffin Dunne's "Fierce People" premieres on Sat., Apr. 24, the audience will witness the extraordinary visual results of the film's Digital Intermediate (D.I.) finishing process, which was executed entirely at PostWorks. Over the past several weeks, executive in charge of post production for Lions Gate Films Phil Stilman, project director of photography Will Rexer and director Griffin Dunne have worked very closely with PostWorks' team. Artists including colorist John Crowley helped to finish the film using a complete 2K data workflow -- a first for a feature finishing in New York.

Director Joseph Lovett's "Gay Sex in the 70s" will debut on Apr. 26 in the festival's NY, NY Documentary competition. The HDCAM screening master reflects PostWorks' tape-to-tape color correction, HD up-conversion and HD titling services. Victor Buhler's feature documentary "Riker's High," which premieres in the same category on Apr. 23, was onlined and color corrected in one of PostWorks' Avid DS Nitris suites.

From the festival's NY, NY Feature competition, both "Red Doors" from director Georgia Lee and "Life on the Ledge" from director Lewis Helfer have also benefited from various PostWorks post and finishing services. Lee's Super 16mm film source material was transferred to HD, and both films benefited from PostWorks' color correction and Avid DS Nitris online services. "Red Doors" will premiere on Apr. 22, and "Life on the Ledge" on Apr. 25.

The 2005 Tribeca Film Festival began on Apr. 19 and will run through May 1, 2005, in New York City. For further information, please visit http://www.tribecafilmfestival.org/.
