Lead Editor

Kutay Başpınar

Istanbul

Lead Editor, twelve years cutting film and commercials. Cinema and Television at Kadir Has University.

Audi, Toyota, Mercedes-Benz, Dyson, Turkish Airlines, Unilever, L’Oréal.

A technical head as well as a cutting one. He moves between kinds of work and finds the rhythm each one wants.

He is closest to where AI meets the edit, testing the tools and keeping the instinct.

Two cities, one working day.

Eight hours sit between New York and Istanbul, and we use all of them.

New York shoots. Istanbul cuts.

The eight hours we are asleep, they are working.

It is why a shoot on Tuesday has something to look at on Wednesday morning.

Who is on your account.

All of us.

If you have a question about the cut, you are asking the person who made it.

Get in touch.

Tell us how you started. Sixty seconds, on your phone. No script.

We write back with what we heard, what we would shoot, which look we would use, and what it costs.
