Creative production studio Los York has promoted executive producer Melina Osornio-Andrade to managing director and partner.
Originally from Taos, New Mexico, Osornio-Andrade is experienced in feature films, advertising production and postproduction, with a deep love of design and motion graphics. From her 2012 start as an office manager at Stardust, the company that evolved into Los York, Osornio-Andrade moved quickly into positions of greater vision and responsibility, from producer to head of production, executive producer, and now to managing director and partner.
In her new role Osornio-Andrade will be responsible for ensuring Los York is executing on its strategic plan–with all teams working at their highest levels, producing top tier work. Osornio-Andrade has worked with brands including Motorola, EA, Nike, Sonos, and Logitech. As a woman in a position of leadership, Osornio-Andrade is passionate about ushering in a new era for Los York–and the design industry as a whole–by breaking down barriers and fostering a culture that reflects a broad spectrum of diverse experiences.
Seth Epstein, director and co-founder of Los York, said, "Melina is deeply committed to the quality of our work in a way that lets the whole team shine. Last year was our best to date and Melina is a great leader to seize this growth and momentum and carry us forward. She’s only made us better for the past 10 years and I can’t wait to see what she brings to our future."
Los York has been active in mixed media production, executing on projects that feature a mix of design, animation, and live-action. Recent highlights include a 360 campaign for the Minnesota Twins, a national digital OOH campaign for Google and Samsung, and ongoing social, digital and broadcast work for Logitech.
Carrie Coon Relishes Being Part Of An Ensemble–From “The Gilded Age” To “His Three Daughters”
It can be hard to catch Carrie Coon on her own.
She is far more likely to be found in the thick of an ensemble. That could be on TV, in "The Gilded Age," for which she was just Emmy nominated, or in the upcoming season of "The White Lotus," which she recently shot in Thailand. Or it could be in films, most relevantly, Azazel Jacobs' new drama, "His Three Daughters," in which Coon stars alongside Natasha Lyonne and Elizabeth Olsen as sisters caring for their dying father.

But Coon, 43, was then largely enmeshed in the day-to-day life of raising a family, along with their nightly movie viewings, which Letts pulls from his extensive DVD collection. The previous night's choice: "Once Around," with Holly Hunter and Richard Dreyfus.
Coon met Letts during her breakthrough performance in "Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolfe?" on Broadway in 2012. She played the heavy-drinking housewife Honey. It was the first role that Coon read and knew, viscerally, she had to play. Immediately after saying this, Coon sighs.
"It sounds like something some diva would say in a movie from the '50s," Coon says. "I just walked around in my apartment in my slip and I had pearls and a little brandy. I made a grocery list and I just did... Read More
