Creative editorial house Beast has hired veteran executive producer Jen Sienkwicz to help lead its Atlanta shop. With more than two decades of experience producing high profile short-form content, she will support clients and talent for Beast Atlanta, part of Deluxe Entertainment Services Group.
“Jen has a wealth of high level experience and great relationships with brands, agencies and talent alike. She’s an expert at balancing the nuances of creative editorial postproduction, and her support enables us to enhance our studio’s exceptional work,” said Billy Gabor, who manages the broader Atlanta studio.
Added Sienkwicz, “Coming to Beast in Atlanta is a great full circle career moment for me. I got my start in Atlanta and I am beyond thrilled to be back. I have worked with Deluxe creative brands across the country and am enthusiastic to be joining this amazing roster of talented people. I am excited to bring my career experience to Beast and be a resource for clients looking to tap the extraordinary vanguard coming out of this powerful market.”
Sienkwicz comes to Beast Atlanta from 72andSunny’s New York office, where she helped launch in-house creative editorial capabilities. She has also served as head of production at Final Cut New York, and held senior production roles at Berwyn and Crew Cuts, in addition to managing projects independently. She’ll work closely with Soraia Callison, the Beast facility’s head of production.
Callison noted, “Jen’s strategic approach to projects encourages top level performance across the board. She is a wonderful addition to the team and I’m thrilled to partner with her to bring the great talents of our editors to clients.”
Beast Atlanta’s current roster includes editors Eddie Kessler, Matt Barron and Jason Painter, who specialize in commercial creative editorial. The facility is also frequently host to visiting editors from other Beast locations to support the region’s thriving filmmaking community as agencies and production companies increasingly tap Georgia for shooting features, television and commercials. Additional services available on-site through co-located studios include color, finishing, visual effects and sound mixing.
