Shira Ankori Joins Beast New York as Editor

 

 

Beast, the editorial house and a subsidiary of Deluxe Entertainment Services Group Inc., announced today the addition of editor Shira Ankori to its New York facility. For the last decade Shira has been editing spots for dozens of major brands including: Taco Bell, Toyota, Walmart, DIRECTV, Merrill Lynch, SONY and Chevy. 

 

“I’m thrilled that Shira and I get to work together once again,” said Beast COO Valerie Petrusson. “Shira brings a unique talent and sensibility to her editing and Beast is lucky to have her.”

 

“We’re excited to have Shira on board. Her experience and talent will be a nice addition to our current team of Beasts,” added Beast NY executive producer Elizabeth Krajewski. “I love the energy she brings to every project and look forward to a fun and successful relationship.”

 

Raised in New York City, Shira’s love of storytelling struck her at an early age through years of training as a dancer. After film school, Shira cut her teeth in editing bays in NY, which later carried her to Los Angeles. It was at this time she also began to make her mark as a voice over actor voicing several commercial campaigns over the last twelve years. She continued cutting in LA with recognized editorial houses until making her way back to the big apple, where she feels most at home. 

 

“Beast is a company that gets the whole picture. They encompass a vibrant energy that tells you big things are happening,” said Shira. The people are top-notch and happy to be here. I am excited to become a part of the Beast community.”
