    SANTA MONICA, Calif. & NEW YORK --

    Editor Kyle Brown has returned to Arcade Edit as a partner. He joins the editorial company after a three-year stint at Exile, where he worked on internationally recognized commercials for clients including TurboTax, Uber, Facebook, Netflix, and Old Navy.  Having edited for directors such as Craig Gillespie, Calmatic, Jess Coulter, Max Malkin, AG Rojas and long-time collaborators Tim & Eric, Brown has a body of work spanning a wide variety of genres, from documentary to sports to visual storytelling to comedy dialogue.

    Brown has worked with agencies like Wieden + Kennedy, Droga5, Mother, Anomaly, BBDO, The Martin Agency, Fred & Farid, and 72 & Sunny. Some of his most notable work includes the Titanium Lion-winning “Project Daniel” for Intel, GE’s “Enhance Your Lighting” Gold Pencil winner featuring Jeff Goldblum, Super Bowl darlings TurboTax and Loctite with Calmatic and Tim & Eric respectively, and the pandemic defining “Stay at Home” campaign for Uber.

    From working staff at several prominent production companies, Brown transitioned into the TV world, editing a series for Starz for multiple seasons before moving back into commercials. A natural collaborator and creative problem solver, Brown is most at home in the edit bay working hand in hand with directors and creatives. For Brown, finding his way back to Arcade felt like a natural homecoming. 

    “The opportunity to re-join Arcade for me is the perfect fit of people, creativity, and community. I look forward to being a part of the continued success and growth of the company and to making great things alongside people I genuinely love and respect. I could not think of a better group of people to be partnering with.”

    Arcade partner and EP Sila Soyer said, “Kyle is the full package – talented editor, generous collaborator, creative with business smarts and all around good human. He never really ceased being part of the family but it’s amazing to have him officially back.”

    Review: Director Ben Taylor’s “Joy”

    Thursday, November 21, 2024

    Toward the end of Netflix's "Joy," the muffled cry of a newborn baby prompts a man and woman in a hospital to embrace out of pure bliss. They aren't the parents, but they had as much to do with the birth as the mom and dad.

    This charming and winning movie charts the decade-long true story of how the world's first IVF baby was born in England in 1978 — a 5-pound, 12-ounce girl who paved the way for millions more. It's an upbeat, very English affair, mixing sober discussion of endometriosis with chocolate biscuits.

    The couple embracing that day were pioneering scientist Robert Edwards and Jean Purdy, a young nurse and embryologist. Together with surgeon Patrick Steptoe, the trio succeeded with in vitro fertilization, a method of treating infertility. Edwards would go on to win the Nobel Prize.

    "Joy" has been birthed at a time when science is under threat in America — even IVF — so it's downright inspiring to see plucky, smart scientists working hard to change the world. "What we're doing, it matters," says Steptoe, played with quiet economy by Bill Nighy.

    "Joy" is the personal stories of the three scientists — mostly through the eyes of Purdy, a polite lab-coated warrior. "If I hear a commotion, I'm not very good at staying out of it," she says.

    Jack Thorne's script nicely explains the massive pressure the trio faced. IVF may have become common and uncontroversial over the last decades, but back in the late '70s it was experimental and shunned. The Anglican church called it a sin, the newspapers labeled it Frankenstein-ish and other... Read More
