Synopsis: "A story from the Star Wars universe, starring Cassian Andor, a no-name thief that stumbles his way into working with the Rebellion."
Edit summary: This is an experimental cut of Andor that focuses primarily on the more intimate human elements of the series, the rebellion at home and the relationship with Bix. It cuts all the scenes of the Empire perspective, keeping it very rebel-centric. And although it's movie length it isn't meant as a replacement for the series, since it does change the story in certain areas.

Synopsis: "More than 20 years after leaving home in a small Canadian farm town, life-changing events prompt Kat to return with her daughter Alice. Although the reunion with her estranged mother isn't what Kat envisioned, a magical pond on the property changes the life of the family forever."
Edit summary: This edit cuts a lot of the slower at-home moments, particularly Del's scenes, and other romance drama that isn't particularly magical in any way. It focuses heavily on the pond and the mystery surrounding it, although the old-time scenes are trimmed down to just the essentials since they seem lower quality than the rest of the plot/acting. That leaves a fun summer adventure that has some depth to the personal drama without getting too bogged down in the angst.

Synopsis: "A ranching family in Montana faces off against others encroaching on their land."
Edit summary: This makes some very large cuts, trying to tone down or add context to some of the more dramatic parts of the series, and removing some of the soap opera level drama. It gets rid of both Lee and Jamie - and any plots related to those characters and makes Jimmy less of a comic relief character, also removing most of his later season scenes to keep focus on the Dutton family.
A lot of the mob-type violence - the train station, the yellowstone brandings are removed, but some of the more raw gunfights are kept and reworked into a darker narrative. This also streamlines the multi-season fight over land into one plot arc, to keep the story moving to new places rather than revisiting the same one multiple times.
You could call this edit An Ode to Cowboys, since the focus is really the ranch, and the people on it, rather than the various political machinations and personal infighting the original series featured heavily.

Synopsis: "Bok Gwi Joo's family has supernatural abilities. He can revisit happy past moments. Depression causes him to lose this power. His family also loses abilities due to modern issues. Do Da He joins their household, instigating change."
Edit summary: This changes the ending and rearranges the flow of the story a bit. Originally I wanted to bring the show down to movie length, and although it is easy to cut quite a lot of time off due to the slow pacing, it isn't really possible to get it down to the 2-3 hour range without losing a ton of good scenes due to the non-linear nature of the story.

Synopsis: "An Irish fisherman discovers a woman in his fishing net whom his precocious daughter believes to be a selkie."
Edit summary: Cut the "realistic" backstory for Ondine's character and some of the family drama to make the film a bit more like a fairy tale, also changing the ending to be less saccharine.

Synopsis: "Multi-movie fanedit challenge"
Edit summary: This combines 14 films into a rather esoteric edit, using mostly Keanu Reeves films with a couple Jennifer Connelly films to flesh out the new narrative.
Please note, this does have some adult content from Generation Um, and also contains quick flashes of scenes which could potentially cause problems for people with epilepsy.

Synopsis: "A woman discovers the world's greatest wine collection that's left by her estranged father and competes against his protege to claim her inheritance."
Edit summary: Cut this into a film length, strengthening the ending which felt quite scattered, removing one of the competitions, the blackmail, along with most of the flashbacks and most of the romance and affairs that had a rather dominant flavor over the whole show. This gives it more of a laid-back feel with a focus on wine, family, and the competition itself, removing the dark underbelly of the story.

Synopsis: "A mighty warrior and a young boy with supernatural powers search for enlightenment in a ruthless post-apocalyptic America controlled by feudal barons."
Edit summary: Toned down MK's "special boy" plot and removed the magic powers and monks from the series. Made Tilda more tolerable, and reduced Veil's story a bit so it's a supporting story rather than overpowering the action with her repetitive plot.

Synopsis: "Using a crack team of doctors and his wits, an antisocial maverick doctor specializing in diagnostic medicine does whatever it takes to solve puzzling cases that come his way."
Edit summary: This heavily culls the episodes down to the most interesting cases, as well as smoothing out the overarching plot and cast changes. Disposed of the antagonistic cop, billionaire, most of the romance plots, some of the new team recruitment, hostage plot, etc. The ending is also completely different since this edit focuses far less on House's drug addiction.
This brings the series to a svelte 18 hours, and although it's a heavier cut than I normally do at only 14% the length of the original, I think it does a good job at reducing the procedural feel and making it more of a quality and enjoyable rewatch.

Edit summary: Cut most of Will Smith's role, toned down the fantasy side slightly, and trimmed/refocused the start of the film to seem less scattered. Removed the majority of the voiceovers.

Synopsis: "Adam Lawrence was trained and groomed by MI6; his career seems set. When the past catches up with him in the form of Kara, a Russian spy with whom he shares a complicated past, he is forced to question everything and everyone in his life."
Edit summary: Trimmed to speed up the rather sluggish pace in parts and bring it down to movie length, removing a couple silly parts and bad acting on the part of the "American".

Synopsis: "Tells the story of a woman who cannot trust people because of her ability to hear lies and a murder suspect who no one believes in."
Edit summary: This edit removes most of the murder mystery and reworks the bit that's left to come to a much quicker conclusion, only keeping it where it serves as a framework for the romance. The whole show had a completely different tone and pacing in the back half that needed a serious rework to preserve consistency. I also Americanized a few subtitles, where the literal translation either seemed rough, too verbose, or didn't easily convey the sentiment of the conversation.
The multiple parent side stories are also either removed or reduced as well as many other side plots that take significant amounts of time - some of these plots are good in the original, but I was originally aiming for a movie-length cut. But six hours was about the natural minimum without gutting crucial flow and plot elements, so even though the edit ended up being episodic and not movie-length, I still left out the previously trimmed episodic content. A couple of the stories were fun I think they'd throw off the balance due to their length.

Synopsis: "A woman joins an organized crime ring and infiltrates the police as an undercover agent in order to find out the truth about her father's death."
Edit summary: The first six episodes are a slow burn that's decent so those are left intact. But episode eight had a completely different tone from the rest of the season so I trimmed that down and combined it with episode seven to make a more cohesive finale.

Synopsis: "Jocelyn is desperate to reclaim her rightful title as the greatest and sexiest pop diva in America after a nervous breakdown disrupted her most recent tour, and Tedros - a notorious nightclub entrepreneur - reignites her passions."
Edit summary: Cut the entire Tedros storyline and made the first-episode plot a self-contained story.

Synopsis: "Set in the near future, a humanoid enlists a global hacker to remove all restrictions on his thoughts and capabilities, triggering an A.I. uprising and a government manhunt to eliminate the rise of the machine consciousness."
Edit summary: This removes the Robbie Amell/Jordana Brewster plot, focusing on the stronger Esme short story contained within the film. The overarching plot is intentionally left a bit ambiguous because the answers given would be somewhat cliche and distract from the theme of the edit.
