thought I'd check to see if there was a more
free or at least open source option for film
editing.  Maybe getting a linux laptop of some
kind with some open source software editing
tools?  I am not hopeful, but thought if
anyone had knew anything about such things,
this would be the place to ask...

You may wish to have a look at Blender. I'm not sure what it's like with cutting, but it's damned good for compositing (and 3D, obviously :D)
