Stacy Peterson has been promoted to editor and Julia Williams has been upped to head of production at Cut+Run New York. Peterson joins a NY-based editors roster that features Jon Grover, Akiko Iwakawa, Joel Miller, Gary Knight, Georgia Dodson, Dan Maloney and TG Herrington.
Shortly after graduating with a film degree from Northwestern University, Peterson moved to NY in search of an editing career. A chance but fortuitous introduction to EP Rana Martin and editor Iwakawa, then at Final Cut, led to her first assistant position. Peterson moved to Cut+Run with Iwakawa, and has since collaborated with a variety of the company’s editing talent.
Peterson has edited projects for Gillette, BMW, Tide, Clorox, Newcastle and Nickelodeon, confirming that the time was right to assume the full-time editor role.
Meanwhile Williams has been a producer with Cut+Run for nearly two years. Williams began her career at Beast, where she grew into the producer role and helped the New York office launch its finishing department. She has been similarly instrumental in developing the Cut+Run’s finishing services, and will continue to oversee its expansion into design, motion graphics and visual effects. As head of production, Williams will work in tandem with EP Martin, overseeing the producer team and the office’s daily operations, both creative editorial and finish.
In addition to its NY operation, Cut+Run maintains offices in London, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Austin, Texas.
