Editor Adam Jenkins has joined Cut+Run/New York. As with all of the shop’s cutters, he will also be available to work via Cut+Run’s Los Angeles and London offices as well as on location. His latest credits include a commercial for LG as well as a campaign for Elle McPherson Lingerie.
Jenkins comes over after a stint at Bug Editorial, New York. Prior to that he freelanced, and earlier had been with Final Cut, London and New York. In addition to his spot experience, Jenkins has delved into longform, having collaborated as a contributing editor with director Doug Liman on Mr. & Mrs. Smith.
Jenkins’ first job in the industry was as a runner at Silver Screen, Wellington and Auckland, where he taught himself to edit, becoming a freelance cutter in his native New Zealand for a brief period before moving to Sydney. He freelanced Down Under for two-and-a-half years, working with several high-profile helmers there, including Matt Murphy, Bruce Hunt and The Glue Society.
Relocating to London, Jenkins caught on with Final Cut in 2000. There he collaborated with such directors as Mehdi Norowzian, the Traktor collective, Mathias Hoene and Daniel Barber. Jenkins then moved to the U.S. where he worked with the Cronenweths, Speck & Gordon, Jake Scott, Errol Morris and the aforementioned feature with Liman. During his Final Cut tenure, Jenkins cut QTV’s “Craig David” for London agency Mother; the spot went on to earn a Silver Lion at the ’01 Cannes International Advertising Festival.
Now at Cut+Run, Jenkins comes aboard a roster that includes editors Mike Douglas, Jon Grover, Anthony Marinelli and Chuck Willis. The latter is also partner/founder of Cut+Run/NY. Susan Willis is the New York shop’s executive producer.
