Sales/Marketing Exec Brings Experience To Leading Previs Studio
Continuing their momentum, Edit 1 (www.Edit1.tv), the previs boutique led by company President Michael Zimbard, has added Jessica Tabor as Director of Business Development. Tabor joins Edit1 following three years as Sales Director at the visual effects/motion graphics studio Suspect.
“Bringing on Jessica represents a key addition to our team,” Zimbard says. “Since rebranding the business we’ve made a number of significant changes to both our creative and technical capabilities, as well as the complete redesign of our space. With Jessica leading our business development, she will further our company’s growth into new markets and opportunities.”
Joining Edit 1 marks a reunion between Tabor and Executive Producer Michael Donovan, who worked together for two years starting in late 2008 at the post house Nice Shoes.
Originally from New York City, Tabor grew up around advertising thanks to her father’s work as an Executive Creative Director at several top New York agencies. As a child she spent a lot time on commercial production sets and looking at storyboards her father often brought home.
“I’m excited to be a part of what Edit 1 is doing in the world of previs,” Tabor says. “The role of the previs studio has changed a lot of over the years. Today agencies are interested in working with companies they can partner with creatively and explore different ways to communicate a concept — whether through cinematics, animatics, live action, motion capture or any combination.”
Edit 1 recently became the first pre-vis studio to offer inertial motion capture (InMoCa), a technology that offers advantages over more traditional motion capture systems.
“I love the team at Edit1 and forward-thinking vibe of the company,” Tabor adds. “I think a lot of agencies will be impressed by just how much we have to offer and I look forward to showing them.”

“ฦvolution” Comes Full Circle At The Chelsea Film Festival
The Chelsea Film Festival, running from October 16th through October 20th, 2024, at Regal Cinemas here in Union Square, is set to host the East Coast premiere of ฦvolution, a thought-provoking experimental micro-short film that proves big ideas can come in small packages and in perfect circles.
In just 1 minute 16 seconds, this cinematic gem by Award-Winning Director Romina Schwedler, with original music by Argentine Composer Ignacio Montoya Carlotto, explores a cycle as old as time: life leads to progress, progress leads to destruction, and destruction, well, leads back to life. But is this vicious circle unbreakable? ฦvolutionย suggests the answer is yes, unless we decide to open our eyes.
Inspired by the overwhelming number of recent events that threaten human existence,ย ฦvolution, possibly the shortest film in this 12th edition of the festival, plays out entirely through the symbolism of circles, cleverly illustrating โin the blink of an eyeโ the repeating patterns of history, and confronting viewers with the uncomfortable truth that our so-called โprogressโ may, in fact, be guiding us to our own ruin.Premiering at the Regal 14 Union Square, New York City, on October 18, 2024, at 11 a.m., Romina Schwedler's micro-short, featuring Leah Young with cinematography by Alan J. Carmona, will be sure to spark conversations longer than the film itself! Forcing viewers to reconsider the true meaning of evolution, not just as a biological process, but as a reflection of our collective journey as humans.
With a string of festival appearances across the globe, including CineGlobe at CERN (Switzerland/France), Oscarยฎ... Read More
