Editor Eric Alexander-Hughes has joined The Den–the recently formed independent boutique shop founded by editor Christjan Jordan and EP Mary Ellen Duggan–for commercials, music videos, documentaries and web and TV content.
While studying at San Francisco State University, Alexander-Hughes started his editing career at ad agency Pereira O’Dell. He continued to hone his skills freelancing at top editorial houses in Los Angeles. Alexander-Hughes spent the last three years with Final Cut Editorial, where he edited Spotify’s “Black History Is Happening Now” campaign featuring Pharrell Williams and the Doritos 2019 Super Bowl spot “Boy Band” featuring Chance the Rapper and The Backstreet Boys,
Additional work by Alexander-Hughes includes editing the hit HBO documentary miniseries The Defiant Ones and dozens of music videos for J. Cole, Selena Gomez, Justin Bieber, Travis Scott, Diddy and Pharell, among others.
“I think of editing as a marriage between two elements–classical and jazz,” said Alexander-Hughes. “The first is exact and cerebral, while the second is more free-style and rooted in a gut-feeling. I like to mix the two in my work–adapting to the individual needs of the client and project.”
