Editor Trish Fuller has joined boutique postproduction company Work Editorial’s NY team. She strengthens Work’s ties in both the U.S. and U.K. Fuller hails from Glasgow, Scotland, and cut her chops at Whitehouse Post London before moving to New York for the launch of Whitehouse’s NY office in 2002. She’s established herself in NY over the past 14 years. Work’s own expansion, from London to NY to L.A., feels particularly aligned with Fuller’s own. Fuller’s previous editing credits include Macy’s campaigns with Barry Levinson; Liberty Mutual with Tony Goldwyn and Stylewar; Verizon with Phil Morrison; a Drug Free America campaign for Hill Holiday, directed by Eric Stoltz, which won a Cannes Gold Lion; a Martini Campaign starring George Clooney directed by Francois Girard; Glamour’s series of short films directed by Jennifer Aniston and Kate Hudson; a Sprint campaign for F&P directed by Stacy Wall; a recent split screen ad for Coach starring Mariel Hemingway and her daughter Langley Fox; the star-studded Rock The Vote campaign directed by Brody Baker, and most recently, a high-profile National Parks campaign out of Grey directed by Floyd Russ. Fuller will be available for projects at all Work offices, both domestic and abroad…..
