Suits LA

Editor - Dan Rovetto, ACE SUITS LA editor Dan Rovetto's career path was far from straightforward. Reflecting on his early days, he shares how intern experiences at MTV laid the foundation for his editing career.  Our conversation covers his transition from reality TV editing to scripted television, plus the impact of streaming, social media and Meghan Markle on the resurgence of the original 'Suits' series.  We also talk about the influence of music choices and the role of assistants in the editing process.  Dan further discusses the unique pressure of editing a pilot episode, especially for a series as anticipated as "Suits LA", including the high stakes involved and the need to set up a new world. Created by SUITS showrunner Aaron Korsh, SUITS LA centers on how Ted Black, a former federal prosecutor from New York, has reinvented himself representing the most powerful clients in Los Angeles. But his firm is at a crisis point, and in order to survive, he must embrace a role he held in contempt his entire career. Ted is surrounded by a stellar group of attorneys who test their loyalties to both Ted and each other while they can't help but mix their personal and professional lives. On top of it all, Ted must come to terms with the events that years ago led him to leave behind everything and everyone he loved.
