Seasoned comedy Editor Josh Towvim has moved to New York's Northern Lights.
Multi-Talented Editor Josh Towvim has Signed with Northern Lights
New York-based editorial house Northern Lights adds editor Josh Towvim to their roster. Towvim's approach to editing is accentuated by his talents for sound design, comedy and visual effects can be seen in his work on campaigns for brands including Sony, Ford, ESPN, Nike, Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, Coca-Cola and Citibank. He comes to Northern Lights from Red Car. His work spans a wide range from auto spots, to dialogue-driven comedy spots and highly cinematic spots with matched sonic elements. Towvim has also delved into film work, cutting the 5-minute humorous short film "Daddy," which appeared on HBO, following a man who gets pregnant.
Notes Northern Lights Executive Producer Robin Hall notes, "Josh's creativity, work ethic and editorial skills make him a great addition to the team. He understands what goes into making a project successful, and is totally focused on making that happen. He innately understands that a great edit transcends delivery mediums."
Boston native Towvim became immersed in film production through his high school's film program, getting his feet wet on projects both as a director and editor. He continued to hone his craft through internships at Washington University in St. Louis, MO and moved to NYC in 1999 to pursue editing professionally. Following a stint as an assistant at the now-shuttered Tapestry Productions, Towvim joined Bug Editorial in 2001 as an Assistant Editor under Owner/Editor Andre Betz. He was promoted to an Editor in 2004, and remained at Bug for four more years, sinking his teeth into campaigns for Volkswagen, Citibank, Volvo, Puma, Comedy Central, Progressive and Audi. In 2008, Towvim moved to MacKenzie Cutler where he earned a New York Emmy Award for his work on the SportsNet (SNY) New York spot "Lessons Learned" before heading to Red Car three years later in 2011. While not editing, he hones his visual aesthetic through his own photography.
