ShootersNYC, the new satellite of Philadelphia post house ShootersINC, has added editor Anthony Marinelli to its roster. He will be available for projects out of both the N.Y. and Philly shops, just as are ShootersINC’s Philadelphia-based cutters–Matthew Burres, Rob Graham, Mark Hutchinson, Chris Magliozzo and Steve Wheelock.
Marinelli began his editing career 17 years ago as an in-house editor at agency DDB Needham. From there he worked at Steel Rose Editorial, Crew Cuts and Cut + Run, before joining Red Car in 2008. His work over the years includes the 2005 Super Bowl Visa commercial “Superheroes,” as well as standout spots for Aleve, NY Lottery, Bayer, Scotts/Miracle-Gro, Atlantis Resorts, Parker Brothers, CIGNA, Wendy’s, United Healthcare, Johnson & Johnson and the U.S. Tennis Open. In 2002 he was nominated for an AICE Award for his work on the NY Department of Tourism’s “New Day” campaign, an effort to revitalize the city tourism industry following the September 11th terrorist attacks.
His work outside of advertising includes his 2008 documentary feature with Alicia Keys called Alicia in Africa, for her Keep a Child Alive charitable organization. Additionally, Marinelli has directed several short films and theater projects. His latest short, Subway (2010), was an Official Selection at the New York Filmmakers series and was recently screened at the Los Angeles New Filmmakers series. On the theater side, he is currently directing a staged reading of the classic play “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf” at the Center Playhouse in Freehold, NJ, this spring.
