Guiana 1838 [ ] [ ]

However, despite the success of the film, Rohit Jagessar was not entirely satisfied. In the rush to complete the film certain aspects were unpolished and incomplete. For example, the film was too long, pacing too slow in parts, there was little or no sound effects, the music wasn't distinctive or evocative, and finally the mix was poor. Rohit also wanted to add incisive documentary sections to add historical context to the film.
After finding American Montage on the web, and reviewing AMI's body of work, Rohit wanted Eric Marciano to oversee all of these significant changes. In addition he asked American Montage to produce the feature length "Making of" documentary of the creation of this socially and historically significant film.
Over a six week period Eric re-edited and re-sound edited the film, cutting out 12 minutes and adding six new minutes. He brought in Erika Leiberman to score the new cut and Harris Skibell to re-mix the film. The result is a jewel, a two DVD package which soon will be a television special.
