Beast Editorial, a Deluxe Creative Services company, is proud to announce the arrival of internationally recognized editor Geraldine Garcia-Esquivel. She will work within Beast's Latin division, dedicated to cutting spots for that thriving market.
Geraldine was born in Caracas, Venezuela and studied in Santiago, Chile, where she received her degree in Audio and Visual Communications and Montage (film editing). Previously at RedCar, New York, Garcia-Esquivel has worked with many top-tier directors including, Simon Bross, Sebastian Caporelli, Pier Luca di Carlo, Jose Antonio Pratt, Claudio Prestia, Cote Silva and Matt Smuckler. She has worked on high-end spots for clients including McDonald’s, Pantene, L'Oreal, Maybelline, Humana and more. Geraldine received Bronze and Gold AHAA Awards in 2009 for her editorial work with Tecate Light and Wendy’s and a Telly Bronze award in 2010 for applying her gifted touch to the aforementioned McDonald’s spot.
"I am delighted to finally be able to edit at Beast," says Geraldine. "Everyone in the industry respects Beast for its incredible reach, fantastic sales force and most importantly, Beast has a reputation for encouraging creativity. I'm also very excited to be focusing on spots for the Latin community and the ability to work from any of Beast’s locations in doing so. It is a very diverse population, with subtle cultural differences in taste and humor and I am acutely tuned into these differences."
"We are very proud to have Geraldine joining our Latin division," enthuses Beast founder, Igor Kovalik. "She has an incredible eye and sense of pace. She's a wonderful editor, equally at home doing broad comedy as well as high fashion. I am confident that clients who want to shape their work for maximum effectiveness with the Latin community will find her to be a great creative collaborator."
She will be working alongside Beast's star editors in Los Angeles—including Kovalik, David Blackburn, Kyle Brown, Paul Norling, Stephane Pereira, Adam Svatek, and Rob Watzke. Her counterparts in Beast's Latin division include Kevin Garcia in Austin and Bernardo Revilla in New York.
In addition to her editorial accomplishments, Geraldine has also directed award-winning short films on topics she is passionate about, including human rights, children and music.
