As Cut+Run’s founder, Steve Gandolfi has created a robust network that honors and values craft, community, and the creative process. Humbly born from a single office in London to locations across Los Angeles, New York, Austin, and San Francisco – Cut+Run inspires the global collective with its love for editing and collaborative spirit bringing to life many of the industry’s culture-defining moments. Grounded in talent mentorship, Cut+Run has launched the careers of many of today's leading editors.
Gandolfi’s dedication and passion were recognized this summer by Shots for Editor of the Year for his editorial contribution to Apple’s Snowbrawl, Google’s Real Talk with 2 Chainz and Awkwafina, and Samsung’s Seamlessly Connect Your Galaxy. Celebrating the most innovative and inspirational campaigns coming out of the Americas, the 2020 Shots Awards honored Cut+Run with another three awards for their contributions to Apple Watch’s Flight, Harley Davidson’s Breathe, and Nike’s Chantel.
“Never losing sight of what inspires and drives you, and working with people who share a passion for the craft are so important, especially now,” Steve says. “I had thought the event would feel different as a remote show – and it did, but not in the way you’d expect. It was actually a reminder of how connected we are, even when we have to be apart.”
Always aiming to inspire, harnessing the collaborative spirit, and being of service to clients, are essential to the culture of Cut+Run even in the middle of a pandemic.
“We know it’s challenging times, but together as a creative community we will make it through even stronger,” comments Managing Partner Michelle Eskin. “This galvanizing moment for the company is held in gratitude as we celebrate and congratulate the editor who inspired it all.”

Simian Gets An Evolutionary Boost For Collaboration, Reveals “Teams”
Simian, the showreel-building, review & approval, and production asset management platform used globally by creative leaders, is kicking off this fall season with a substantial leap forward for collaboration and project management – with more updates on the way during the holidays!
The new feature, aptly dubbed “Teams”, makes it easier than ever for users to give project responsibilities to team members and clients alike. “You can never have too many options when it comes to permission levels,” says Jay Brooks, Simian’s Chief Technology Officer. “Teams provides a streamlined way to assign multiple users to a project at once.”
“Teams are very powerful, but creating one is effortless,” Brian Atton, Simian’s Chief Operating Officer explains. “Simply enter a Team name, add members, and then apply the newly made Team to any desired project. You can even invite temporary guests without changing settings for other projects or needing to create a new Team.”
“We love helping our clients by providing efficient tools to improve their workflow, and this has been a frequently requested feature as of late,” shares Kellie Atton, Head of Sales at Simian. “It feels great to get Teams out into the wild because I know it’s going to be tremendously helpful to everyone who uses it”.
Teams is now available exclusively to Simian’s enterprise clients. Simian plans to release more product upgrades and enhancements during Q4 2024 and 2025 for enterprise and non-enterprise users, continuing its ongoing evolution as the industry’s leading production asset management solution.
