    NEW YORK --

    Work Editorial has added Dan de Winter to its roster. The editor is based in New York and represented by Work Editorial globally

    Growing up in Amsterdam, de Winter always had a love for the moving image and was drawn to the U.S., so in 2006 he enrolled at the Academy of Arts in San Francisco where he studied motion graphics and went on to major in cinematography. After college he stayed on in S.F. where he found work at the agency Cutwater as an assistant editor. After three years of cutting there, he moved to New York. Having been inspired by the work of editor Angus Wall, he joined Rock Paper Scissors (RPS) as an assistant to Biff Butler, who he is now reunited with at Work; de Winter was promoted to editor at RPS in 2013.

    “Editing really is the part of the process I was most drawn to, bringing a story to life with whatever footage you have. The building blocks are all in front of you, it’s a matter of digging till you find that hidden gem,” said de Winter who’s always had a love for the advertising process too, observing that “the amount of great individual projects is just fantastic, each offering up so many different challenges and working together with directors and creatives to the final part of the journey”.

    Work founding partner Jane Dilworth said, “Dan is a truly wonderful editor with exactly the same mindset as us at Work. It feels great to find another kindred spirit. Dan couldn’t have joined at a wonkier time but even so he’s already working away, it’s great!”

    Among de Winter’s frequent collaborators are talented directors like Savanah Leaf, Ryan Staake and Bon Duke as well as agencies including W+K, 72andSunny, Droga5, and BBDO. For 72andSunny, de Winter’s breakout spot was for Samsung featuring LeBron James and directed by Andreas Nilsson of Biscuit Filmworks.

    Like all of Work’s editors de Winter is drawn to the craft and was especially inspired by Rich Orrick’s “Three Little Pigs” spot for The Guardian, directed by Ringan Ledwidge. “I love that spot and could see the work and thought that went into creating that in the edit; to be in the creative hub of Work amongst so many great editors inspires me,” said de Winter.

    The End of The “Rust” Criminal Case Against Alec Baldwin May Unlock A Civil Lawsuit

    Tuesday, December 24, 2024

    The conclusion of a criminal case against Alec Baldwin in the fatal shooting of a cinematographer clears the way for a related civil lawsuit by relatives of the deceased woman and efforts to depose the actor under oath, attorneys for plaintiffs in the civil suit said Tuesday.

    At a news conference in Los Angeles, victims' rights attorney Gloria Allred said that the parents and younger sister of deceased cinematographer Halyna Hutchins were disappointed that prosecutors won't appeal the dismissal of an involuntary manslaughter charge against Baldwin. The criminal charge against Baldwin was dismissed halfway through trial in July on allegations that police and prosecutors withheld evidence from the defense.

    Hutchins died shortly after being wounded during a rehearsal in the movie "Rust" in October 2021 at a film-set ranch on the outskirts of Santa Fe, New Mexico.

    Baldwin, the lead actor and coproducer, was pointing a pistol at Hutchins when it discharged, killing Hutchins and wounding director Joel Souza. Baldwin has said he pulled back the hammer — but not the trigger — and the revolver fired.

    Allred said Hutchins' relatives are determined to pursue damages and compensation from Baldwin and "Rust" producers in New Mexico civil court, and want Baldwin to answer questions under oath in the proceedings. Hutchins' widower and son previously reached a separate legal settlement.

    "With the withdrawal that was made public yesterday, we are now able to proceed with our civil case," Allred said. "Clearly, the rights of Alec Baldwin were protected, but the due process rights of the victims — Halyna Hutchins and her parents and her sister — were violated."

    Allred said she's ready to prove that Hutchins had a close relationship... Read More
