Bicoastal Arcade Edit has added editors Jen Dean and Mark Paiva. Both will be based in the company’s NY office with their talents being available to clients across the U.S.
Dean honed her skills at Whitehouse Post before joining Arcade, editing spots there since 2011 for brands including Google, New York Times, Cotton, BMW, TJ Maxx and Sprint. Dean began her commercial career working for film editor Hank Corwin at Lost Planet, where she spent 12 years and worked her way up from apprentice to editor. It proved to be an invaluable experience for her. It was at the University of Colorado, however, that Dean originally discovered her love of film, studying under experimental filmmaker Stan Brakhage.
Paiva has over 10 years of experience as an editor. In the last year alone he’s worked with many agencies including 180 Amsterdam, Droga5, The Corner and several Wieden+Kennedy offices all across North America and Europe. In 2009 he helped found Poster Boy Edit, which, this year, he merged with Toronto-based Saints Editorial, of which he is a founding member. He was recently honored with the 2013 Craft Award for editing at The Bessies.
Arcade Edit is an editorial collective and partnership among managing partner Damian Stevens, executive producer/partner Sila Soyer and editors/partners Kim Bica, Jeff Ferruzzo, Geoff Hounsell and Paul Martinez. Arcade’s talent roster also includes editors Dean, Paiva, Will Hasell, Christjan Jordan, Nick Rondeau and Greg Scruton, and executive producer Nicole Visram.
