Editor Geraldine Garcia-Esquivel–whose credits include national campaigns for McDonald’s, Tecate Light and Wendy’s–has joined the roster of New York-based Fluid. She comes over from Red Car where she spent the past year.
Garcia-Esquivel grew up in Caracas, Venezuela, studied audio and visual communications in Santiago, Chile, and holds a Masters in Montage from Uniacc. She moved to New York in 2000 to work at The Well, a boutique post house. From there, she moved to wild(child) where she edited commercials in the general and Hispanic markets, before joining Red Car at its New York and Dallas offices. The editor’s favorite spots are those that touch on universal themes. She cut Tecate Light’s “Medias de Seda,” which won a Hispanic Creative Gold TV Award from the Association of Hispanic Advertising Agencies’ competition, as well as Wendy’s “Tapita” which garnered Bronze honors. “Bed Sheet,” one of three spots Garcia-Esquivel edited for a national McDonald’s campaign, won the 2010 Telly Gold Award.
The bilingual editor’s body of work spans the general and global markets, mainstream English as well as Spanish-language fare. And outside the ad arena, she has cut the stop-motion short X-Mess Detritus, a twisted, Christmas-themed story about forgotten toys from past holidays directed by Voltaire. X-Mess Detritus brought in awards from a host of festivals including the South Beach International Animation Festival and Atlanta Underground Film Festival. Furthermore The Call, a Bloomberg TV documentary she edited, raised $3 million for the families of firefighters who died in the line of duty. Currently, Garcia-Esquivel is working on the long-boarding documentary The Brooklyn Bomb and the short film Alter Ego, directed by Martha Christian
Garcia-Esquivel rounds out a Fluid editorial roster comprised of Robin Burchill, John Mallerman, Jim Rubino, Peter Sabatino, and Zeke.
In addition to her colleagues at Fluid, Garcia-Esquivel joins a postproduction family that includes VFX artist Wes Waldron, Butter (music and sound), Piranha (graphics and CG), and Hyperbolic (audio post), all operating out of the same Manhattan studio complex.
“Overnight Success” Has Been More Than A Decade In The Making For Meghann Fahy and Eve Hewson
Meghann Fahy and Eve Hewson, two of the stars of Netflix's whodunit "The Perfect Couple," have news for you if you want to call them breakouts: They've been working in this business for more than a decade.
Fahy made her TV debut in 2009 in an episode of "Gossip Girl." Hewson's first big film role was in 2011's "This Must Be the Place." They do concede, however, that it's recent TV roles — "The White Lotus" for Fahy and "Bad Sisters" for Hewson — that have led to new frontiers of opportunity.
Susanne Bier, who directed "The Perfect Couple," says both Fahy and Hewson are "going to be big stars."
"They certainly have proper, profound star quality, Both of them in very different ways," Bier says. "Both are incredibly creative, incredibly smart, and also have a impressive insight as to who they are. You can be a great actor or actress and not necessarily really know who you are yourself. And they do."
Hewson, 33, whose dad is U2 front man Bono, may have grown up in a famous family but she's now in demand in her own right. She will next be seen in a second season of "Bad Sisters, " out in November. She's in Noah Baumbach's next film, alongside Adam Sandler, George Clooney and Riley Keough. She's also been cast in Steven Spielberg's next production and is set to star opposite Murray Bartlett in a racing series for Hulu.
Fahy, 34, is in production on a limited series with Julianne Moore and Milly Alcock called "Sirens," written by Molly Smith Metzler ("Maid") for Netflix. She also has two films in the can with Josh O'Connor ("The Crown," "Challengers") and Brandon Sklenar ("It Ends With Us").
