WASHINGTON, DC -- Dylan Tichenor, editor of Academy Award-nominated "Brokeback Mountain," and Hughes Winborne, Academy Award-nominated editor of "Crash," will be featured speakers at the NAB Post|Production World Conference.
Tichenor will share his experience cutting "Brokeback Mountain," show clips from that film and others to illustrate key points and challenges, and discuss his approach to the craft of editing during the Post|Production World Conference keynote session Saturday, April 22.

He later worked as technical coordinator, co-editor and post-production supervisor.

Tichenor is currently working on "The Assassination of Jesse James."
During the Post|Production World Conference keynote session Sunday, April 23, Winborne will share his experience cutting "Crash" and show key clips from the film. In 15 years of editing, Winborne has cut more than 20 TV and film projects. Starting in documentaries and continuing to work primarily on independent films, Winborne served as editor on Billy Bob Thorton’s debut feature, “Sling Blade,” Toni Kalem’s “A Slipping Down Life,” starring Lili Taylor and Guy Pearce, and Mitch Rouse’s comedy “Employee of the Month,” with Matt Dillon and Steve Zahn.
