Nomad Editing Company has brought editor Conor O’Neill aboard as its newest partner. O’Neill will join fellow U.S.-based partners Jennifer Lederman, Glenn Martin, Jai Shukla, Jim Ulbrich, Amanda Moreau, Jared Coller, Adam Schwartz, and recent addition Brandon Porter as they pave the way for the future of the company. Prior to joining Nomad, O’Neill had most recently been at EXILE.
O’Neill’s work encompasses a wide array of projects ranging from commercials to feature and documentary films and beyond. Following a degree from Vassar College, he spent time in the art departments of various commercial and music video production companies until editing his first documentary feature, Word Wars, which premiered at Sundance, got a theatrical release, and eventually received a News & Documentary Emmy nomination.
Since then, O’Neill has cut several Academy Award-nominated films including Foxcatcher (along with editors Jay Cassidy and Stuart Levy) and Moneyball (with editor Christopher Tellefsen). O’Neill is also no stranger to the documentary game, editing Air Guitar Nation (with editor Clark Andrew Vogeler), a documentary detailing the world championships of air guitar, the HBO Rolling Stones documentary Crossfire Hurricane, which was nominated for four primetime Emmys including Best Documentary and Best Picture Editing (for editors O’Neill and Levy), and Eric Bana’s directorial debut Love the Beast. Other notable projects include Henry-Alex Rubin’s Murderball (with editor Geoffrey Richman), also nominated for an Academy Award for Best Documentary.
As a partner, O’Neill is most looking forward to expanding Nomad’s commercial editing footprint in Los Angeles, as well as helping to develop new creative avenues for Nomad’s production and post offerings. “The world of content creation is a rapidly changing one,” he continued, “and along with my fellow partners, I hope to help guide Nomad in a direction that sets the company up for further success in this changing landscape and allows us to continue to thrive for years to come.”
