    NEW YORK --

    Deluxe's creative editorial company Beast has added editor Dan Maloney to the talent roster of its New York facility. Maloney’s editorial experience spans over 16 years and includes a strong background in cutting comedy and documentary projects, with recent work for Gillette, ZocDoc, and Audi. 

    Beast New York has undergone a number of changes in the past year with new management, including the addition of EP Melissa Lubin. The chance to partner with her and start a new chapter for Beast New York represented an opportunity that drew Maloney to the company. 

    Throughout his editorial career, Maloney has collaborated with top agencies including BBDO, The Martin Agency, and Grey as well as notable directors Speck/Gordon, the Perlorian Brothers, Phil Morrison, Mike Maguire, Steve Miller, Stacy Wall and Bennett Miller. Maloney got his start cutting at The Whitehouse, earning a 2008 AICE Award for his Tide work. He’s also spent time at Spotwelders, and was with Cut+Run before joining Beast. Maloney is currently working on a short documentary for Nowness directed by James Casey.

And then I had a wonderful experience in "The Lighthouse" and I played a part that was really fun in "The Northman."
