Blue Table Post has added award-winning editor Lorraine Paul to its roster. A diversity advocate and dedicated mentor, Paul has cut entertainment campaigns for networks such as HBO, BBC America, AMC Networks, A+E, NBC Universal, Nickelodeon, and Sundance TV. She’s applied her talent to numerous noted campaigns including House of The Dragon, Insecure, Barry and Manifest. Her passion for editing has also led to work with advertising agencies worldwide including mcgarrybowen, Y&R, JWT, McCann, Saatchi & Saatchi, TBWA, and Grey.
“Lorraine is an incredible talent whose extensive work in the promo world is the perfect connector between Blue Table’s work in features and series, and our advertising collaborations,” noted Blue Table Post founder/editor Oliver Lief. “While she’s a powerhouse in entertainment, Lorraine’s storytelling ability is not limited to any genre, length or style. Her talent is matched with an innate ability to really connect with people and an unyielding curiosity.”
Born in Australia to Indian parents, Paul grew up in the cultural melting pot of Mumbai. A formative memory of seeing the city pause to watch the Sunday night Hindi movie, broadcast weekly on local television, drew her to cinema. She then attended Curtin University in Australia where she majored in film and television production and journalism. A multilingual creative who has also worked and lived in Italy and the U.S., Paul has embraced global experiences that have contributed to her unique and refreshing perspective on editing.
“Throughout my career, I have held firm to the conviction that one’s success can only be evaluated in context to how we bring others up with us,” Paul concluded. “That’s very connected to what and who we put on the screen and approach the craft. Editing can support a vision, convey emotion, and bring people together–and that is an ongoing source of inspiration.”
Prior to coming aboard Blue Table Post, Paul was working independently via her own entity, Durga Creative. She continues to work under that company name directly with select clients.
