NEW YORK — Editor Robert Ryang has joined the New York office of Cut+Run (www.cutandrun.com). The studio also has offices in London, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Austin, and he will be available for work on projects there too.
Ryang studied film at Columbia and first gained national and international recognition with a personal project — the AICE Trailer Park-winning Shining in which the chilling psychological horror film is reimagined as a romantic comedy. The project went viral before the term was commonplace, crashing the server of PS 260, where Ryang has been an editor for over a decade. In addition to branded projects, Ryang has edited music videos for Death Cab for Cutie, Muse, Sleigh Bells and a feature film, Clown, for The Weinstein Company.
“Robert has an excellent sensibility and his relationships with directors and agency clients are a tribute to his talent,” says Cut+Run founder Steve Gandolfi.
“I’ve always loved editing and the satisfaction of watching something take shape before your eyes,” explains Ryang. “It’s also amazing when you can witness your work eliciting a gut reaction. It's why I love comedy — but also the emotional impact of documentary and action projects.”
