Martin Leroy Joins WORK Editorial

Work are really excited about the editor Martin Leroy joining the Work roster. Martin is currently based in Los Angeles and is represented by Work globally. 

Growing up in Belgium with a love for music and film, he knew he wanted to be either a sound engineer or a film editor. Studying at the IAD film school in Brussels, Belgium, he was drawn to editing and finished there with a degree in Film Editing. 

He was busy straight after college working freelance in Belgium with emerging Directors from Czar, including a lasting relationship with director Raf Wathion. These relationships took him  working abroad quite quickly all over Europe, to China, South America and the Untied States. With more of the directors he was working with doing American work he started freelancing at Whitehouse Post, then in 2014 moving to Los Angels and on their roster. ‘Moving to LA was wonderful and a bit of a shock, you can drive across Belgium in the same time it takes to get to  Palm Springs!’ Martin loved the change and adapting to the American way of working whilst always keeping his European sensibility. 

Work is so thrilled to be having Martin in the LA office, founding partner Jane Dilworth, ‘Martin is an editor we’ve always been an admirer of, he has a wonderful sensitivity and puts cuts together with such skill. Since joining Work he has hit the ground running and we all couldn’t be happier.’ 

Martin still works with many European directors but also works with US based directors Lisa Rubish, Reynald Gresset, Jordan Bahat and many others along with strong connections with US agencies such as BBDO, 72& Sunny, 22 Squared, W+K to name a few. 

As with all Work editors, Martin is drawn to the craft of editing, ‘I’ve always looked at WORK with a lot of admiration. There is a certain culture there in terms of artistry and ethic and that’s exactly what I’m looking for. They have curated a truly inspiring roster and I feel very proud to become a part of it.”
