Northern Lights adds accomplished editor/designer Brandon Beck to its expanding creative roster.
Having just finished a launch campaign for USA‘s new original series “Covert Affairs”, and prior a 14 spot campaign for Monster.com which included a spot that aired during this year’s Super Bowl, Brandon brings an impressive body of spots for Hewlett Packard, General Motors, Toyota, Benjamin Moore, The Robin Hood Foundation, USA Network, VH1 and HBO. Also an accomplished designer and time-lapse photography expert, Brandon has recently created graphics packages for IFC and AMC, and spots for Lincoln and Hyundai.
“Brandon’s skills complement perfectly the style and philosophy behind the work our clients entrust to us at Northern Lights, and our sister companies Mr. Wonderful and Bodega,” says Littman. “Each spot on his reel is carefully crafted and speaks to the viewer in an artful way," adds Gioiella.
“I’ve been freelancing since 2004 and Northern Lights was the first place where I felt a partnership with the company,” Beck commented. “The artists here are interested in making great content and pushing their abilities and creativity. The environment of collaboration between editorial, audio, graphics and production really fosters this.”
Brandon is currently cutting a HIV awareness PSA directed by Jeffrey Karoff of Backyard Productions, which he also contributed his time-lapse photography skills to.

“Ǝvolution” 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 Ǝvolution, 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? Ǝvolution suggests the answer is yes, unless we decide to open our eyes.
Inspired by the overwhelming number of recent events that threaten human existence, Ǝvolution, possibly the shortest film in this 12th edition of the festival, plays out entirely through the symbolism of circles, cleverly illustrating —in the blink of an eye— the repeating patterns of history, and confronting viewers with the uncomfortable truth that our so-called “progress” 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), Oscar®... Read More
