LOS ANGELES — Editor Dan de Winter is now being globally represented by The Den Editorial (https://thedeneditorial.com). Based in LA, de Winter’s career began in San Francisco, where he studied cinematography and motion graphics at the Academy of Arts. His first job was with ad agency Cutwater, where he served as an assistant editor. Since then, he’s been on the editing rosters at Rock Paper Scissors and Work Editorial.
De Winter has cut commercials for Sprite, FanDuel, Nike and Jordan, and music videos for Common, Jorja Smith, Marvin Gaye, and IDK featuring Offset. His long-form work includes editing Season 3 of the Netflix sports anthology series Untold. One of his career highlights was the breakout film Lebron: Uninterrupted for Samsung, which was edited on-set to match the seamless transitions envisioned by director Andreas Nilsson. The film went on to win a Clio Award for Best Film Craft.
“Funny enough, The Den encapsulates my editing process,” notes de Winter. “I’m all about the solitude of it. I don't break focus until the edit hits that sweet spot. What I like about The Den is they’re similarly dogged in their pursuit of great post production. Every editor I’ve encountered there is also a huge nerd for film and storytelling. I’ve long admired their work, and I’m thrilled to be a part of their roster.”
