Editorial Collective, Arcade Edit is thrilled to announce the addition of Editor Kevin Zimmerman, who is based out of their Los Angeles family and available to edit nationwide. Zimmerman, better known for his focus on bringing narratives to life through humor, has contributed his comedic storytelling to projects for brands including Cottonelle, DoorDash, Microsoft, Miller Lite and Sprite, among many others.
“Having worked with Kevin previously in the post-production realm, I knew what he was capable of bringing to the table,” notes Arcade EP, Crissy DeSimone. “His comedic body of work speaks to a large part of what Arcade is known for and I’m really excited to have the opportunity to collaborate with him again. We look forward to having him onboard and we cannot wait to see him continue to flourish.”
Zimmerman joins Arcade as a long-time friend and collaborator of DeSimone, previously working together at post-production house, NO6. With a master's degree in cinematography, Zimmerman found himself in the right place at the right time for an unexpected career in editing. After working for multiple post-production companies, the craft of editing became second nature before finding himself with the opportunity to rejoin DeSimone at Arcade Edit.
“As an editor focused on comedy, I was looking for a home that shared similar approaches in that sense of the storytelling space,” shares Zimmerman. “When comparing Arcade’s work to that of my own, there was an effortless synergy that made a lot of sense and it just felt like the perfect fit.”
In collaboration with advertising agency FCB, Zimmerman recently wrapped two campaigns for Cottonelle and Poise, bringing his infectious humor to what most would call, difficult to market products.
