Editor Jordan Green joined New York-based design and editorial company 89 Greene Editorial after spending the past year freelancing in New York. Before that, he spent two-and-a-half years as an editor at Spot Welders, Venice, Calif..
Green brings about seven years of commercial, music video and documentary experience to 89 Greene. The editor said he tends to attract a variety of styles, although he especially enjoys comedy as well as projects that are artistic, offbeat and edgy.
As a freelancer, he recently edited Blimpie’s "Home Video" spot for Kirshenbaum Bond & Partners, New York. Harvey Wang of Hollywood, Calif.-based Stiefel & Company directed. Green also cut a corporate video for Sony directed by Tarquin Cardona of bicoastal X-Ray Productions.
Following the Cardona-directed project, Green was introduced to 89 Greene through bicoastal Crossroads Films, which maintains an additional office in Chicago. (Crossroads family of companies consists of Crossroads Films, bicoastal Crossroads Television, X-Ray Productions, bicoastal X-1 Films and 89 Greene Editorial.) "I like [89 Greene’s] creative atmosphere," Greene enthused. "I feel like I fit in with the stable of editors. I’m comfortable here."
Green’s first 89 Greene editing assignment is a campaign for WPVI, Philadelphia, directed by X-Ray’s Glenn Lazzaro through the Crossroads Television unit.
Notable work that Green cut while at Spot Welders includes GTE’s "Duh TV" campaign out of Ogilvy & Mather, New York. He also cut Titleist’s "HP Tour" via Boston-based Arnold Communications, and Nike’s "Owners" campaign, out of Wieden & Kennedy, Amsterdam. He additionally edited music videos for Garbage, the Goo Goo Dolls, Fun Luvin Criminals, INXS and UB40.
Green joins an editorial roster comprised of Bruce Ashley, Tim Cahill, and Don Kleszy; designers Steve Marino and Jim Forster; and online editor/compositor Michael Coalo.
Oscar-Nominated Director Sean Wang Joins Park Pictures For Spots, Branded Content
Park Pictures has added director Sean Wang to its roster of talent for representation spanning commercials and branded content. His feature-length debut, Dรฌdi, premiered at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival, where it was acquired by Focus Features and released later that summer to critical acclaim.
Wang is a Taiwanese-American filmmaker hailing from Fremont, Calif., and currently based in Los Angeles. Prior to joining Park Pictures, he was repped by Even/Odd Studios. Often pulling from his lived experiences, Wang can turn hyper-specific story points into universally relatable, memorable moments.
Dรฌdi won the U.S. Dramatic Audience Award and the Special Jury Prize for Best Ensemble Cast at the Sundance Film Festival. His documentary short Nai Nai & Wร i Pรณ premiered at SXSW 2023, where it won the Grand Jury Prize and Audience Award, later earning an Oscar nomination. The film following Wangโs two grandmothers is currently streaming on Disney+ and Hulu. Other films from Wang include the lauded documentary shorts 3,000 Miles, H.A.G.S., and Still Here. As a Google Creative Lab 5 Alumnus, Wang has directed several commercial campaigns for Google that highlighted live captions and teased large news from the tech conglomerate, including an ad that aired during the 2017 Emmy Awards.
Wang said of Park Pictures, โI canโt think of a better artistic home for me as a director. The work that comes out of Park Pictures is incredible, and I admire the work they do in advertising and the documentary and narrative space. Everyone Iโve met there is just as obsessed with making great films as I am, and I look forward to growing my career with them as I move into the commercial space.โ
