Editor Kenny Shimm Joins the Ranks at Lost Planet

Lost Planet Editorial welcomes East Coast-based editor Kenny Shimm to its roster of award-winning post-production talent. Kenny’s fresh and relentlessly cool editing style is perfectly at home with Lost Planet’s magnetic philosophy of creativity and individuality. 

As an editor, Kenny has contributed to several RIAA Certified (Recording Industry Association of America) Gold and Platinum music videos in the hip hop/rap genre. He’s collaborated with some of music’s most exciting artists, including A$AP Rocky, Nas, Latto, Lil Uzi Vert, Rich The Kid, Swae Lee, and Beast Coast, lending his cinematic sensibilities and musical ear to underscore each artist’s unique voice. Additionally, Shimm has collaborated with luxury streetwear brand Pyer Moss on several projects, including the musically forward runway film featuring a gospel choir and their couture collection created in partnership with exonerated painter Richard Philips.

Kenny has worked on numerous commercials for brands like Air Jordan, Adidas, Michael Kors, KidSuper, and most recently, Rockstar. Additionally, he edited the sleek black-and-white films for 1800 Cristalino featuring R&B singer Kali Uchis, photographer Gunner Stahl, and famed Mexican soccer player Jonathan Dos Santos. He worked with Netflix on the promo short 'Chloe Vietch Tries Love Is Blind,' which blended several of the streamers' unscripted series and saw Shimm seamlessly matching the shows’ signature editing styles.

“Lost Planet is legendary in the world of editing,” remarks Kenny on joining the edit house. “Everyone on the Lost Planet team is incredibly talented. I’ve had the pleasure of meeting founder Hank Corwin, and he’s been extremely supportive and welcoming. I’m honoured to be welcomed into the fold, and I can’t wait to get started.”

Casey Cayko, Lost Planet’s executive producer on the East Coast, adds, “Kenny has great taste that can’t be taught. He’s tapped into the zeitgeist and innately knows what will grab the audience’s attention. His instincts are always on point. He’s also a wonderful person to work with and a great collaborator. I look forward to seeing what’s next for him with Lost Planet.”
