NEW YORK CITY — Craig Duncan, president and managing director of Cutters Studios, was recently named chairperson of the 2024 AICP Post Awards. The AICP Post Awards (www.aicpawards.com) present trophies to the post production artists credited with work in 25 categories that cover editorial; music and sound; color grading; and design, visual effects and finishing.
Duncan leads Cutters Studios, which has offices in Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, Detroit, Kansas City and Tokyo. The company has provided production, post production, and creative development services for causes, brands, studios, networks and agencies.
A Detroit native and self-described theater nerd, Duncan earned a degree in theater arts from Western Michigan University and launched his career in New York, working on the production staff at the famed Public Theater, as well as at other companies. Shifting his focus to TV and relocating to LA, he eventually became the post production supervisor on the series Boy Meets World, and was later promoted to syndication supervisor for all of Buena Vista Television. He returned to Detroit in 2000, joining Griot Editorial, eventually rising to the post of VP and managing director. In 2010 he joined Cutters in Chicago as executive producer, later being named a partner, before taking on the company’s managing director role in 2013. He was promoted to president in 2020.
