    LONDON --

    Editor Peter Brandt has joined Work’s roster across all three offices in UK, NY and LA for commercials and music videos. Brandt continues to work across Scandinavia out of his own Copenhagen-based company, Little Machine, successfully balancing 20 years of advertising with film and television work. 

    Brandt’s commercials collaborations include work with director Martin de Thurah and WCRS for British Arrows & D&AD winner BUPA's 'For Owning The Dancefloor," Martin Werner’s DnB comedy classic starring George Clooney, and Interflora 's 'Give Love A Helping Hand' as well as Ronaldo vs Pele in Adam Hashemi’s Emirates "All Time Greats." Andreas Nilsson’s multi award winning Volvo "Epic Split feat. Van Damme" garnered 6 Grand Prix internationally for Forsman & Bodenfors. 

    “I wanted to work with Peter the moment I saw his work" said Work founder/partner Jane Dilworth. "It’s still incredibly special to see work that has been so well crafted.  He has a natural ability for storytelling and conveying emotional nuances. And once we met, it was even clearer his sensibility was so in tune with all of the Work editors. A really open person, he’s one of us.”

    Having started out editing commercials and music videos in Denmark, it was acceptance into The National Danish Film School in 2003 that really opened up a series of narrative features. His first collaboration with director Christoffer Boe on psychological thriller Reconstruction was rewarded with the Camera d’Or at Cannes Film Festival, Best Editor at The Robert Awards and The Young Cinema Award at Venice Film Festival.  Subsequent productions included the BAFTA-winning Danish political drama Borgen in 2010 (director Søren Kragh-Jacobsen), Cannes Critics Week-nominated When Animals Dream in 2014 (director Jonas Arnby) and The Robert Award for Best Children's Film Antboy (director Ask Hasselbalch). Brandt was also nominated for Best Editing at 2016 Robert Awards for 9 April, a Danish Second World War film by Roni Ezra. 

    Brandt says: "The variety of commercials and feature length work drives me. The end goal is always the same, to find the structure. But to distil an entire story to 60 seconds and on the other hand hold that one emotional beat throughout exercises all my muscles. So Work Editorial is perfect in terms of size and approach, with an intrinsic understanding of these kind of choices editors make in their career."

    Cate Blanchett Laments That The #MeToo Movement “Got Killed Very Quickly” In Hollywood

    Sunday, May 17, 2026

    Cate Blanchett said the #MeToo movement "got killed very quickly" in Hollywood, speaking Sunday at the Cannes Film Festival.

    In a wide-ranging staged conversation, Blanchett lamented that the tide of #MeToo has been turned in Hollywood, where she has been outspoken about gender equality.

    "It got killed very quickly, which I think is interesting," said Blanchett.

    "There are a lot of people with platforms who are able to speak up with relative safety and say this has happened to me," Blanchett said. "And the so-called average woman on the street, person on the street, is saying MeToo. Why does that get shut down?"

    In 2018, when she was president of the jury in Cannes, Blanchett took part in a red-carpet protest. She and 81 other women appeared on the steps of the Palais des Festivals, symbolically representing the number of female director who were selected for Cannes' competition lineup. Over the same period, 1,866 male directors had been selected.

    "I'm still on film sets and I do the headcount every day. There's 10 women and there's 75 men every morning," Blanchett said.

    "I love men, but what happens is the jokes become the same,' she said. "You just have to brace yourself slightly, and I'm used to that, but it just gets boring for everybody when you walk into a homogeneous workplace."
