Editor Jordan Green has joined the roster of New York-based creative editorial shop BlueRock.
With a varied body of work that ranges from comedy and documentary-style spots, 3D character-driven campaigns to feature-length concert films for Metallica (he was an editor on Metallica: Cunning Stunts), Green is the second major signing this year for BlueRock, the first being editor John Maloney in January.
Green’s spot credits span such brands as Geico, Walmart, American Express, AT&T, Sony, Microsoft, M&M’s, Puma and MTV.
Although his first love is comedy, Green is also a passionate cinema and music fan that has cut music videos for the likes of Tricky, Garbage and The Goo Goo Dolls and influential directors Kinka Usher, Malcolm Venville, Samuel Bayer, Chris Smith, Jesse Peretz, Martin Granger, Wayne Isham and Mike Mills.
Green had been at Hooligan, New York, and prior to that 89 Editorial. He began his editing career in Los Angeles, cutting at Spotwelders.
Green cited the chance to work with BlueRock managing director Jennifer Lederman and access to a broad range of resources as among the factors drawing him to the company. On the latter score, he noted the work of BlueRock and sister shop Spontaneous. “I think the way they integrate editorial, VFX, 3D, audio and finishing so seamlessly stands alone in terms of the scope of services they can provide for my clients.”

Another DGA theatrical motion picture award--named after the late filmmaker Michael Apted in recognition of outstanding achievement by a first-time feature director went to RaMell Ross for Nickel Boys. On the TV side, winners included Frederick E.O. Toye who topped the dramatic series category for the โCrimson Skyโ episode of Shลgun; Lucia Aniello who scored the comedy series honor for the Hacks episode titled โBulletproofโ; Steven Zaillian for the limited series Ripley; and Liz Patrick for the variety series Saturday Night Live (โJohn Mulaney/Chappell Roanโ episode). The documentary winners were Brendan Bellomo and Slava Leontyev for Porcelain War. Topping the commercials category was Andreas Nilsson of Biscuit Filmworks on the strength of spots for Apple, Andrex, Hennessy and Virgin Media (see separate story here).
