Years later, Zierra decided to take the original footage out of storage and begin editing another film that would include his own experience making "Carving". By this time, editing a film had become much more cost effective because of the introduction of the user friendly and affordable non-linear editing system Final Cut Pro. Still, starting the film over from the 200+ hours was a massive undertaking. Whereas "Carving" focused on the success of the actors and their personal relationships, the new film," My Big Break", focuses on the ups and downs of the film business and how fame – or the lack thereof – affected all of them. Alex Ebert, one of the executive producers of "Carving Out Our Name" contributed to "My Big Break" by composing music for the film. Ebert subsequently won a Golden Globe for Best Original Score in 2014 for "All Is Lost" starring Robert Redford.
