Editors Richard Starkey and Antoine Mills have joined wild(child) post. The former moves to the New York shop–which is headed by owner/editor Yvette Pineyro–from South Africa where he maintained a shop called Guillotine, which he recently closed. Meanwhile Mills has been freelancing in NYC the past couple of years after having been on the roster of Ohio Edit, New York. Born and raised in London, Mills is a post industry veteran. Starting his career selling punk fashions to the likes of The Clash, Mills moved into motion when he enrolled in NYU’s Summer Film Program before relocating to Los Angeles to study video production while continuing to study a first love — photography – where he assisted notables such as Annie Liebowitz and Anton Corbijn. Mills settled in New York after deciding that editing was his calling and subsequently collaborated on spots helmed by such notables as Tarsem, Marcus Nispel, Jeff Priess and Arni & Kinski. Mills has cut campaigns for HSBC, Maybelline, Hugo Boss, Cadillac, Macy’s and most recently an international package for Microsoft in French for broadcast cinema and the web. In addition, he has a longstanding relationship with acclaimed photographer/director Peter Lindberg with whom he has delved into longer form projects, the most noteworthy being Inner Voices which won best documentary short form at the International Festival of Cinema and Technology of Canada in Toronto. Meanwhile Starkey has twice been nominated for best editor honors at Africa and Asia’s industry awards show The Loeries. He’s won nine Loeries’ honors in various categories and cut a music video, “Show Me,” for John Legend, that earned a NAACP Award nomination in 2008. Starkey has seen his work make the Cannes shortlist four times and has cut international campaigns for such clients as Nike, Orange, Visa, Carlsberg, Heineken, Kelloggg’s, Swatch and Gatorade. Last year the Starkey-cut “Bad Listener” for Nike was shortlisted at Cannes and won an Epica Awards Film Silver Award. Additionally in ’09, Starkey’s MTN “Lift/Doorman” made the Cannes shortlist and his work on Neotel’s “No Limits” took Best Animation honors at the Midsummer Awards in the U.K.
Beyoncé’s Halftime Show Highlighted Netflix’s NFL Debut On Xmas Day
Beyoncé provided more excitement than either game during Netflix's NFL debut on Christmas Day.
Riding into her halftime appearance on a white horse, the 32-time Grammy winner rocked her hometown Houston crowd with a nearly 13-minute performance on Wednesday.
She surprised fans by bringing along Shaboozey to perform "Sweet Honey Buckiin" and Post Malone joined her for "Levii's Jeans."

Mariah Carey opened Wednesday's doubleheader with a taped performance of "All I Want for Christmas is You" and then the two-time defending Super Bowl champion Chiefs trounced the Steelers to clinch the No. 1 seed in the AFC.

Beyoncé's live performance at NRG Stadium was supposed to be the biggest test for the streaming giant and it seemed to go off without a hitch.
Mahomes threw for 320 yards and three touchdowns and Kelce had eight catches for 84 yards and one score as the Chiefs (15-1) earned a first-round bye and home-field advantage throughout the AFC playoffs. The... Read More
