NEW YORK CITY - Leap Year (www.leapyearpost.com), the offline editorial studio launched by production company Voyager, has signed Sarah Jordan to its editorial lineup. She has contributed to major campaigns for Dunkin’, Mint Mobile, Pantalones and Kiehl’s, Super Bowl spots, and long-form projects for HBO Max, Netflix and Showtime.
After making her first film in college, Jordan began her career assisting at a Manhattan edit house before moving into the freelance documentary world, where she cut short films for Mass Appeal, and later contributed to feature-length projects, including HBO’s Tiger, Showtime’s Sophia, and Netflix’s. As a freelancer, her documentary-style approach translated naturally into commercial work, leading to a series of Dunkin’ campaigns with Ben Affleck’s production company Artists Equity. She’s since become a frequent editing partner to Affleck, including on her first Super Bowl spot, and later worked with Ryan Reynolds’ Maximum Effort.
“What’s special about Sarah is she has the ability to translate her long-form storytelling instincts into short-form commercials so effortlessly,” notes Leap Year founder/creative director Charles Frank. “She can build a rich, layered story over a longer runtime, or craft a :15 or :30 that still delivers a complete narrative arc and emotional punch. Her documentary background also gives her comedic timing this intuitive, off-the-cuff rhythm that is so present across her work. I’m a big fan and feel lucky to collaborate with her.”
“There’s a real sense of care at Leap Year,” shares Jordan. “Not just for the work, but for the people and the process behind it. They approach every project with intention and attention to detail. It’s rare to find a team that’s creating such great work while being so genuinely supportive. I’m excited to explore new creative ground with them and see what we build together.”
