Uppercut grows editorial team with four appointments

NEW YORK — Creative editorial boutique Uppercut has added editors Paul Kelly, Jeff Stevens, Ann Lupo and William Zitser to its roster of talent. Kelly (upper left) co-founded Beast NY, where he maintained his role as film editor for over a decade while also working as a music composer for several artists. His top brand work includes Walmart, Toyota, Comcast and State Farm, and he’s currently working on a will.i.am documentary directed by Michael Jurkovac. 

Stevens (upper right) co-founded FeedTheWalrus prior to joining Wildchild to serve as senior editor. His credits include work for Pepsi, Reebok, Amazon and Powerade.

Lupo (lower left) has worked with Supply & Demand director Mac Premo on a number of projects, including a Ford F-150 national campaign, U2 music videos, a Conde Nast/Kanye West featurette, and the Vimeo Staff Picked Bucket Board short film. She is currently hard at work on her whimsical, autobiographical indie film, In Reality, for which she serves as writer, director, producer, editor and star. 

And Zitser (lower right) spent over a decade establishing his editorial and creative directing talents at the likes of Jump and Kyle Edit. He has worked with notable brands such as Mercedes-Benz, Cheerios, Hershey’s, and Kate Spade, and considers his very first campaign on Tums, his ‘Editorial University.’ 

Kelly, Stevens, Lupo and Zitser join editors Micah Scarpelli and Alvaro del Val, executive producer Stefanie Bassett, senior producer Danielle Gordek, and an in-house VFX/color department led by Joe Wenkoff.
