Hi Ashley,
Bill Burns in Connecticut did a great job for me a couple of years ago. I think he charged $5 or $6 per cut but of course he may have increased his rates by now.
His contact info is:(address suppressed)-288-1753
Good luck!

Subject: Negative Cutter Needed
To: email suppressed
Hello Frameworkers,
I am a student working on my thesis film and am in need of a negative cutter. I'll be sending the cutter a workprint, not an EDL file and with titles. I have been getting some suggestions from my professors, but the ones I have talked to have all raised their cutting prices by a whole lot. Example, since December one raised his from $5.50 per cut to $10 per cut.
I cut my own negative last semester and it was a very stressful experience, so I understand charging a good amount, but there is no way I can afford $10 per cut (recessions are not good for anyone, obviously). I would really like to find someone willing to work with a student and offer a reasonable rate. The film should be about 5 minutes and I'm not anticipating having a ton of quick cuts or anything like that and I've shot roughly 1000 feet of film for the project.
I live in Ithaca and the lab I use is Alphacine in Seattle. I am willing to send my stuff to anywhere in the US. If anyone on Frameworks is interested in cutting the negative, please let me know! I would rather work with someone who is friendly and excited about experimental filmmaking, but basically I just need to start talking to someone ASAP.
Thanks everyone!
-Ashley Connor
