| Jan 8 Conversations at The Lake Merritt |
A Brief History of Film Editing
Kyle Parker, a producer, editor, cinematographer and lecturer, will take us back to the first days of moving pictures when films consisted of a single shot, and understanding how technology, along with increasingly complex storytelling, has led us to the digital editing technology in use today. We will look at early American and European innovations to see how cinema has progressed from Silent films that required a film processing lab and were cut with razor blades to High Definition action movies that can be edited with a laptop. Kyle will use video clips during his presentation to explain these processes. |

Presenters:
Jim Bell, CFP®
President and Founder
Corinne Salera
Relationship Manager
Presentation highlights:
- You can maximize cash flow while minimizing risk.
- Making your life work financially is not a contest with your neighbor, your sister-in-law, or your boss.
- Financial Planning determines your probability of financial success, i.e. you do not run out of money.
- Financial Planning determines the required rate of return on your assets and your optimal low risk portfolio strategy.
- Retirees need cash flow not income. (Do you know the difference?)
