Everyone has a different path at New World Pictures, but Alan Toomayan may have had one of the strangest!  From driving RVs on movie sets to working as a Production Assistant on New World's GRAND THEFT AUTO and driving Ron Howard around to moving into the editing room for SATURDAY THE 14TH and working with producer Julie Corman, Alan has done it all!

Moving on from New World, Alan worked on THE HOWLING where he met director Paul Bartel and would work on Bartel's EATING RAOUL, THE LONGSHOT, NOT FOR PUBLICATION, SCENES FROM THE CLASS STRUGGLE IN BEVERLY HILLS and LUST IN THE DUST, which was released by the second ownership group of New World Pictures! Alan shares the behind-the-scenes stories of working with Bartel, even on the unfortunately cancelled EATING RAOUL sequel, BLAND AMBITION.

We also get into Alan's work editing trailers for New World in the 1980s and why HELLRAISER has a special meaning to him.

Thanks so much to Alan Toomayan for appearing on the show!! Check out more of Alan's work at his website by clicking here.
