    LOS ANGELES & NEW YORK --

    Oscar-nominated editor Tom Eagles has joined Rock Paper Scissors (RPS) for commercial representation in the U.S. Eagles is best known for his collaborations with director and producer Taika Waititi on the acclaimed feature film Jojo Rabbit and both the movie and episodes of the FX hit comedy What We Do In The Shadows.

    Eagles’ work on Jojo Rabbit earned him a number of high-profile nominations and awards, including an Academy Award nomination for Best Film Editing, as well as the BAFTA Award for Best Editing and an ACE Eddie Award.

    His most recent project was editing director Jeymes Samuel’s high-style revisionist Western, The Harder They Fall, starring Jonathan Majors, Idris Alba, and Zazie Beetz.

    Eagles originally began his career editing commercials, which includes campaigns for Uniqlo and Carlton Dry in his native Aotearoa/New Zealand; however, this will be his first U.S. representation for commercials.

    “We are thrilled to help support Tom for commercials. He is one of the freshest voices in editing,” added Eve Kornblum, managing director at Rock Paper Scissors. “We are really looking forward to blending our world with his.”

    Originally from Aotearoa/New Zealand, Eagles currently lives with his family in Los Angeles.

    Stadium has added director Duncan Winecoff to its roster for commercial representation in the U.S. Winecoff has directed campaigns for brands such as Porsche, BMW, Canon, Oura, Sephora, New Balance, McDonald’s and Faherty, among others.

    Raised between Nova Scotia and Ojai, Calif., in a family of Tibetan Buddhists, Winecoff has a diverse background which instilled in him a profound sense of authenticity and reflection.

He’s the kind of talent that instinctively enhances every script and understands the art of collaboration.”

    Winecoff said, “Stadium is defining what production can mean in an era where audiences demand more connection and substance. I’m excited to be part of a team that values their role as a creative partner as much as I do and is dedicated to pushing creative boundaries while staying grounded in what the project truly needs.”
