Arts Academy Edit has added award-winning editor Erin Nordstrom to its talent roster. This marks her return to the commercial and advertising world after years of successful long-from project work.
Nordstrom’s career is a testament to her versatility and mastery of the craft, with a portfolio that spans advertising, television, and documentary filmmaking. Her journey began in the advertising industry, where she honed her ability to distill brand messages into narratives for brands like Samsung, Toyota, NHL, Amazon, and Google.
Nordstrom made a powerful entry into documentary filmmaking with her feature-length debut, I Am Trying to Break Your Heart, a critically acclaimed exploration of the band Wilco. This project was followed by CaveDigger, a documentary that garnered an Academy Award® nomination, highlighting her talent for crafting visually compelling and emotionally resonant narratives.
Her recent endeavors include HBO’s Smartless: On the Road, featuring Jason Bateman, Will Arnett, and Sean Hayes, which is currently streaming on Max. Additionally, Nordstrom’s latest project, Omnivore, a television series starring René Redzepi, delves into the past, present, and future through the lens of food and is currently airing on Apple TV+.
Nordstrom shared, “The team at Arts Academy is not only incredibly talented, but also genuinely friendly and supportive. I deeply admire their commitment to uplifting and empowering individuals through their creative endeavors. It’s an honor to be part of such a remarkable group, and I look forward to creating content that is compelling and impactful.”
Peter Wiedensmith, co-founder of Arts Academy Edit, said, “Erin’s work is truly timeless, characterized by a classic touch that radiates warmth and a profound love for the people she portrays. Her films create such inviting worlds that you feel an irresistible urge to immerse yourself in them, offering a glimpse into Erin’s own heart and soul. Her storytelling seamlessly blends humor, challenge, and vulnerability, creating a powerful and captivating combination. I am thrilled to have her join us, as it provides an opportunity to know her even better.”
