Uppercut has welcomed award-winning editor Izzy Ehrlich to its roster for U.S. representation. With a sharp instinct for storytelling, a dynamic editorial style, and a fearless creative voice, Izzy has carved out a reputation as one of the industry’s most exciting talents.
From her earliest days splicing together music video footage to shaping high-impact commercial work, Izzy has always been drawn to the rhythm of the edit. Her career took off with Adidas’ Run More campaign, a standout piece that resonated deeply with the advertising community and set the tone for her trajectory. Known for her bold yet precise approach, she has since collaborated with top brands and directors, crafting work that is as emotionally compelling as it is visually striking.
"I think a good edit will always be relevant," Izzy shared. "It doesn’t need to align with industry trends—it just needs to tell a strong story and provoke a feeling. My instincts have guided me well, and I’m excited to bring that perspective to Uppercut’s creative powerhouse."
Beyond her technical skill, Izzy’s passion for pushing boundaries is fueled by her personal journey. As a queer woman in the industry, she’s been a fierce advocate for carving out space and reclaiming the legacy of the pioneering women editors who shaped the language of film. “Editing is about perspective—both on-screen and behind the scenes,” she said. “The best stories aren’t just well-cut; they’re deeply felt.”
A dedicated cyclist who starts her days with a 50-100K ride, Izzy brings the same endurance and intensity to her craft, thriving under tight timelines and high-pressure projects. “I work well under pressure, and a fast-paced challenge isn’t a deterrent—it’s an opportunity.”
Looking ahead, Izzy is eager to expand her reach as an international editor, collaborating with visionary directors across the globe. “There are so many amazing directors who inspire me. Getting the chance to work with them would be a game-changer.”
Uppercut’s owner and editor Micah Scarpelli added, “Izzy’s talent speaks for itself—her work is electric, meticulous, and deeply intuitive. But beyond that, she brings an undeniable energy and passion for storytelling that aligns perfectly with Uppercut’s creative ethos. We’re honored to have her on board.”
With Izzy Ehrlich joining Uppercut, the future of editorial storytelling just got sharper, bolder, and more exhilarating.
