Creative editorial house Final Cut has promoted Dillon Stoneburner to the editor roster in its Los Angeles office. Stoneburner had been an assistant editor at Final Cut for six years.
Hailing from Detroit, Stoneburner made the move to Los Angeles just out of college. He landed his first job as a runner at Final Cut, then began to climb the ranks, becoming vault manager before moving to the cutting room.
The young editor found mentorship and encouragement in the editing bays at Final Cut, honing his skills under the tutelage of Jeff Buchanan, Zoe Schack, Rick Russell, and Joe Guest, Stoneburner’s relatable personality and dedication to his craft have led to work with global brands such as Amazon, Doritos, Xfinity, Squarespace, Audi, Uber, and Budweiser. His passion for exploring character-led stories and documentary-style campaigns is also evidenced in his editing for television series and in multiple short films. He most recently co-edited a DoorDash campaign with Buchanan, which aired during last Sunday’s big game. Featuring actor and performer Daveed Diggs and some of Sesame Street’s most recognizable residents, the campaign was the delivery service’s first-ever Super Bowl appearance.
“Every editor I’ve worked with has taught me something that has helped me to grow in my career,” said Stoneburner. “I hope I’m able to pay it forward in the same way in the future. Final Cut gave me a chance–a kid from a small suburb outside Detroit who’s had to work for everything he has–and they are like a giant, ridiculously talented family to me.”

Riding into her halftime appearance on a white horse, the 32-time Grammy winner rocked her hometown Houston crowd with a nearly 13-minute performance on Wednesday.
She surprised fans by bringing along Shaboozey to perform "Sweet Honey Buckiin" and Post Malone joined her for "Levii's Jeans."

Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce exposed a glitch in Pittsburgh's defense during Kansas City's 29-10 rout in the first game.

Mariah Carey opened Wednesday's doubleheader with a taped performance of "All I Want for Christmas is You" and then the two-time defending Super Bowl champion Chiefs trounced the Steelers to clinch the No. 1 seed in the AFC.
There were no signs of any major streaming issues during the game after Netflix experienced minor blunders at the start of the pregame show. The broadcast opened with roughly 10 seconds of silence because it appeared studio host Kay Adams' microphone wasn't turned on.
Beyoncé's live performance at NRG Stadium was supposed to be the biggest test for the streaming giant and it seemed to go off without a hitch.
Mahomes threw for 320 yards and three touchdowns and Kelce had eight catches for 84 yards and one score as the Chiefs (15-1) earned a first-round bye and home-field advantage throughout the AFC playoffs. The... Read More
