Cut+Run is excited to announce that Los Angeles EP Amburr Farls and Jogger creative director Andy Brown have been made partners in the company.
“Both Amburr and Andy bring immense passion and talent to Cut+Run,” says managing partner Michelle Eskin. “Amburr has made a huge contribution to the company and our success. She is a vital part of the heart and soul of our family. Andy has been a guiding force for the vision and growth of Jogger, from his artistic and technical talent to his innate entrepreneurial spirit and leadership. It is an absolute joy to work with them both each day and to welcome them as partners.”
Amburr Farls joined the company as senior producer heading large-scale, award winning projects for all screens from broadcast to digital, social and film. She was promoted to Head of Production, defining the leadership role with her signature enthusiasm and strategic development. She rose to executive producer of the Los Angeles office, working closely with managing partner, Michelle Eskin and the management team in San Francisco, Austin, New York and London via Cut+Run’s alliance with The Quarry. She was instrumental in supporting Cut+Run’s transition to connected, remote collaboration during the pandemic, and has earned deep and trusted relationships with her colleagues, as well as agencies, production companies and clients alike.
“To say the least, I’m so proud and honoured. It’s been almost a decade of outstanding work with such amazing talent and a brilliant production team,” comments Amburr. “And more importantly, I’ve been surrounded by stomach-hurting laughter, so much joy (even in the in chaos) and a whole lot of love. Cut+Run is family and Steve and Michelle‘s leadership and strength means the world to me. I thank them and my fellow partners for their trust and all their support — let’s do this!”
Creative director Andy Brown was the founding partner/co-owner in the first VFX division of Cut+Run in London. He has helped define and develop Jogger Studios, including in Los Angeles where he is now based. In addition to contributing to bringing hundreds of projects to life, Andy has helped form interconnections with Jogger’s teams in Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York, and Austin, with high-end VFX, motion graphics and colour grading carried out on projects globally.
“I couldn’t be more thrilled to intensify my relationship with Cut+Run and Jogger as a partner here in the US,” says Andy. “This is another step in our long history and I feel wonderfully lucky to work alongside such an incredible group of individuals. Together we have worked tirelessly to be trusted hands in the creative process of bringing our clients' work to life. I am humbled and excited to continue this journey.”
