Los Angeles-based post house Therapy adds Editor Scott Hanson to their roster. Hanson comes to Therapy from Dallas-based N2O Editorial (now Lucky Post).
His work stands apart with strong, emotional storytelling, best showcased in projects for such top clients as The Salvation Army, Home Depot, ExxonMobil and Mayo Clinic, to name a few. Other projects include traditional scripted, dialogue and music-driven work for clients including Casio, BMW, Blue Cross, American Airlines, Southwest Airlines and MidFirst Bank.
His most recent work includes a new campaign for Casio’s nearly indestructible G’zone smart phone, comedic holiday spots for Pier 1 Imports with The Richards Group and a Bob Giraldi-helmed piece for Great Call via Davis/Elin.
Says Therapy EP Joe DiSanto, “All of our editors looked at Scott’s work and were struck by his amazing sensibility for simple, powerful and emotional storytelling. That kind of work was something we were looking for to round out our team. He is also a very cool guy—people will enjoy sitting in a room with him all day!”
Hanson adds, “The chance to join Therapy Studios was a perfect opportunity. Not only are they a talented bunch working across industries from spots to longer formats to films, but also very industry savvy. I think they have a great take on how to move forward in the post industry, which is a business model that has had to do a lot of evolving in the last few years. I really like the proactive approach they are taking with their shop and I’m thrilled to be working with them.”
Houston-native Hanson completed a Master’s in Film at Boston University. Following graduation, he set his sights on the South and began his career working as an editor at Dallas-based charlieuniformtango for seven years working on projects for top clients including Home Depot, BMW, American Airlines, Southwest Airlines and ExxonMobil for agencies including T.M., The Richards Group, GSD&M and Publicis. From there, he went on to serve as an editor at N2O Editorial where he worked on commercial post production for The Home Depot, The Salvation Army, The Mayo Clinic, MidFirst Bank, HEB and others. While at N2O, he delved further into non-fiction work, working alongside the agencies on a great deal of story and creative collaboration. During this time, he also began donning multiple hats in filmmaking: co-writing, directing and editing the short narrative drama “Parts” through Arch Elms Films. The film screened at over 25 festivals in North America and Europe and won numerous awards. After 12 successful years in Dallas, Hanson headed for sunny Los Angeles, excited to broaden his horizons tackle the new challenges that the west coast editorial world has to offer.

“Ǝvolution” Comes Full Circle At The Chelsea Film Festival
The Chelsea Film Festival, running from October 16th through October 20th, 2024, at Regal Cinemas here in Union Square, is set to host the East Coast premiere of Ǝvolution, a thought-provoking experimental micro-short film that proves big ideas can come in small packages and in perfect circles.
In just 1 minute 16 seconds, this cinematic gem by Award-Winning Director Romina Schwedler, with original music by Argentine Composer Ignacio Montoya Carlotto, explores a cycle as old as time: life leads to progress, progress leads to destruction, and destruction, well, leads back to life. But is this vicious circle unbreakable? Ǝvolution suggests the answer is yes, unless we decide to open our eyes.
Inspired by the overwhelming number of recent events that threaten human existence, Ǝvolution, possibly the shortest film in this 12th edition of the festival, plays out entirely through the symbolism of circles, cleverly illustrating —in the blink of an eye— the repeating patterns of history, and confronting viewers with the uncomfortable truth that our so-called “progress” may, in fact, be guiding us to our own ruin.Premiering at the Regal 14 Union Square, New York City, on October 18, 2024, at 11 a.m., Romina Schwedler's micro-short, featuring Leah Young with cinematography by Alan J. Carmona, will be sure to spark conversations longer than the film itself! Forcing viewers to reconsider the true meaning of evolution, not just as a biological process, but as a reflection of our collective journey as humans.
With a string of festival appearances across the globe, including CineGlobe at CERN (Switzerland/France), Oscar®... Read More
