    NEW YORK --

    Cut+Run has promoted Lauren Hertzberg from NY executive producer to East Coast managing director. In her new role, Hertzberg will work in close partnership with Los Angeles-based managing partner Michelle Eskin to enhance the editing company’s growth with premiere talent and client service via its offices throughout North America. Cut+Run maintains shops in NY, L.A., Austin, San Francisco and London.

    Hertzberg joined Cut+Run in 2016, quickly making an imprint steeped in extensive editorial experience. Prior to Cut+Run, Hertzberg enjoyed a successful tenure at The Whitehouse, where she worked her way up the ranks from receptionist to executive producer.

    Eskin cited Hertzberg’s “signature style that blends enthusiasm and intelligence,” noting that her promotion is “the next step to an exciting future ahead for the company.”

    Hertzberg said, “As our New York office enters this next phase of creative development and growth, I am so looking forward to deepening my collaboration with our incredible talent, clients, and management team across all of our offices.”




    Daniel Craig Embraced Openness For Role In Director Luca Guadagnino’s “Queer”

    Tuesday, November 26, 2024

    Daniel Craig is sitting in the restaurant of the Carlyle Hotel talking about how easy it can be to close yourself off to new experiences.

    "We get older and maybe out of fear, we want to control the way we are in our lives. And I think it's sort of the enemy of art," Craig says. "You have to push against it. Whether you have success or not is irrelevant, but you have to try to push against it."

    Craig, relaxed and unshaven, has the look of someone who has freed himself of a too snug tuxedo. Part of the abiding tension of his tenure as James Bond was this evident wrestling with the constraints that came along with it. Any such strains, though, would seem now to be completely out the window.

    Since exiting that role, Craig, 56, has seemed eager to push himself in new directions. He performed "Macbeth" on Broadway. His drawling detective Benoit Blanc ("Halle Berry!") stole the show in "Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery." And now, Craig gives arguably his most transformative performance as the William S. Burroughs avatar Lee in Luca Guadagnino's tender tale of love and longing in postwar Mexico City, "Queer."

    Since the movie's Venice Film Festival premiere, it's been one of the fall's most talked about performances — for its explicit sex scenes, for its vulnerability and for its extremely un-007-ness.

    "The role, they say, must have been a challenge or 'You're so brave to do this,'" Craig said in a recent interview alongside Guadagnino. "I kind of go, 'Eh, not really.' It's why I get up in the morning."

    In "Queer," which A24 releases Wednesday in theaters, Craig again plays a well-traveled, sharply dressed, cocktail-drinking man. But the similarities with his most famous role stop there. Lee is an American expat living in 1950s... Read More
