From the CNYON facebook page:
"SECOND CUT. I took four and a half minutes out of the film, sceened it again today. Some films must be wrestled to the ground during the editing process. They must be molded and remolded into final shape. Others give themselves to the editing process like butter to a knife. The Canyons has been the later. Perhaps it was Bret's script, perhaps digital editing technology, perhaps the need to cut inĀ
camera, perhaps a clarity of vision, but the film has come into shape very quickly. Another week, another screening, I'll probably lock film. Pity, in a way, because editing is a pleasurable process. The DGA contracts still require a ten week period for the director's cut. Seems like a long time nowdays. Plus, who would I show a director's cut to? I'm also owner of the film."
