Postproduction house Uppercut has added editor Edward Line to its roster. With an expansive and diverse body of work spanning commercials, music videos, comedy, and narrative films, Line joins Uppercut for U.S. representation. He had most recently been with Exile.
Line began his editing career in London, where he developed his craft at Final Cut before moving to Los Angeles in 2016. Since then, Line has cut commercial work for Nissan, Gatorade, Covergirl, Google, Facebook and Mountain Dew. He has collaborated with directors including Traktor, Craig Gillespie, F. Gary Gray, Fredrik Bond, and Los Perez. Line also prides himself on cutting socially committed advertising campaigns for Ancestry, illuminating America’s diverse ancestral history; Sephora, celebrating transgender and non-binary communities; and Color of Change, which highlighted the importance of the 2020 U.S. elections.
Line first made a name for himself as a music video editor with work for Usher, Sia, Nick Cave, DJ Snake & Justin Bieber, and Rudimental. Also an adept narrative editor, his short films have been recognized at international film festivals, including Wale which went on to be shortlisted at the Academy Awards and nominated for a BAFTA.
