January 2020 was quite a month for editor and educator Matt Friedman ACE.  Not only was he nominated for an ACE Eddie award alongside Michael Taylor ACE for their work on The Farewell, Matt's film Palm Springs set a record for the highest ever sales figure ($17,500,000.69) in the history of the Sundance Film Festival.  In spite of all the great news and positive reviews surrounding the film, the film was not available to be enjoyed by a wide audience...until now.  Palm Springs, currently streaming on Hulu, is a rom-com / timeloop movie delivered in a style unique to the team at The Lonely Island.  Matt Friedman tells us about; the delicate balancing act for both the tone and tempo of the film, the challenge of doing a "5.1 mix on a budget" and making every frame count.
