Cabin Editing Company has added three editors to its roster: Robert Lopuski, Mischa Meyer, and Jojo King. The hires will support Cabin’s recent growth as remote capabilities are allowing the company to service new clients across the U.S. and internationally. Additionally, Cabin has recently taken on new representation in the Midwest, with Baer Brown Reps, and on the East Coast, with Hunky Dory.
“The transition to remote work with the pandemic has fortunately gone smoothly and has actually allowed us to successfully scale up while maintaining our boutique feel,” said Carr Schilling, managing partner at Cabin, who described Lopuski, Meyer and King as “visual storytellers,” each bringing “different strengths and styles to round out our roster.”
Lopuski is a multidisciplinary editor whose work has earned two AICP Awards for editing, as well as recognition from the Clios, the One Show, Ciclope, the MTV VMAs, and the Midsouth Regional Emmys. With a background in visual effects and cinematography, as well as experience directing short form content such as the “Watch the Throne” promo for Kanye West and Jay-Z and documentary short “We’re Gonna Be Lords,” Lopuski brings a deep hands-on understanding of the many aspects of production to establish a clear visual throughline in all of his work. His recent commercial work includes spots for Nissan, adidas, Gatorade, Apple, and UNICEF. He was previously with Exile Edit.
Meyer’s international reach and visual effects expertise has led him to work with brands including Nike, Coca-Cola, PlayStation, Axe, Lexus, Audi and BMW. Originally from Stuttgart, Germany, he worked in production including as a VFX supervisor there before moving to Berlin and later New York, where he shifted his focus to editing, most recently with Spot Welders. Now based in Los Angeles, Meyer’s recent work includes spots for Mercedes-Benz, Jordan, Vodafone, and the COVID-19 PSA “Guardians” for Sean Penn’s non-profit organization CORE. He has a keen ability to effectively blend high-end visual effects with grounded human stories and a comedic touch.
King is a versatile visual storyteller with an accomplished history in the fashion and beauty space, with work for Louis Vuitton, Cartier, Estee Lauder, MAC Cosmetics, Glossier and Vogue, among others. With his finger on the pulse of cultural trends, he has more recently expanded into the music video space with artists including Janelle Monae, Lykke Li, and Moses Sumney, and partnered with brands including Jordan and Don Julio. He joins Cabin Edit from Nomad.
Carrie Coon Relishes Being Part Of An Ensemble–From “The Gilded Age” To “His Three Daughters”
It can be hard to catch Carrie Coon on her own.
She is far more likely to be found in the thick of an ensemble. That could be on TV, in "The Gilded Age," for which she was just Emmy nominated, or in the upcoming season of "The White Lotus," which she recently shot in Thailand. Or it could be in films, most relevantly, Azazel Jacobs' new drama, "His Three Daughters," in which Coon stars alongside Natasha Lyonne and Elizabeth Olsen as sisters caring for their dying father.

A few years back, she and her husband, the playwright Tracy Letts, moved near here with their two young children, drawn by the long rows of stone walls and a particularly good BLT from a nearby cafe that Letts, after biting into, declared must be within 15 miles of where they lived.

But Coon, 43, was then largely enmeshed in the day-to-day life of raising a family, along with their nightly movie viewings, which Letts pulls from his extensive DVD collection. The previous night's choice: "Once Around," with Holly Hunter and Richard Dreyfus.
Coon met Letts during her breakthrough performance in "Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolfe?" on Broadway in 2012. She played the heavy-drinking housewife Honey. It was the first role that Coon read and knew, viscerally, she had to play. Immediately after saying this, Coon sighs.
"It sounds like something some diva would say in a movie from the '50s," Coon says. "I just walked around in my apartment in my slip and I had pearls and a little brandy. I made a grocery list and I just did... Read More
