Acclaimed creative editorial company Final Cut has named editor Sophie Solomon as a partner. As an integral part of Final Cut, Sophie has been with the post-production house since 2015 and on its roster of talent since 2021. Working out of Final Cut’s East Coast office, Sophie will work closely with Final Cut’s leadership team including executive producers Michelle Corney in the UK, Suzy Ramirez in Los Angeles, and Sarah Roebuck in New York to elevate Final Cut’s editorial talent, provide creative support, and serve as an essential member of the management team. She joins fellow Final Cut partners Jeff Buchanan, Jim Helton, Ashley Kreamer, JD Smyth, and Crispin Struthers.
Known for a certain campy aesthetic combined with unwavering authenticity, Sophie crafts story-centric narratives that feel fresh, modern, and compelling. Recently, she edited “Anti-Choice Ads” for Wisp x Abortion Freedom Fund, which won a Gold Clio and was shortlisted for a Glass Lion at Cannes. She has also earned Best Editing at the Art of Brooklyn Film Festival and a Telly Award for editing the short film “Don’t Go Back To Sleep.” Sophie worked alongside Jim Helton to edit the renowned multi-award-winning campaign “The Truth is Worth It” from the New York Times that garnered two Cannes Lions Grand Prix, a Gold Clio, a Black Pencil at D&AD, and was named Best of Show at the One Club ADC Awards.
Passionate about storytelling and motivated by the shared experience of creating something as a team, Sophie is a creative whose collaborative spirit has made her a highly sought-after post-production artist for brands and agencies looking to tell stories that draw audiences nearer. Her remarkable craftsmanship can be seen in many spots for brands like Etsy, Nissan, Zoom, Kenzo, Facebook, TurboTax, Volkswagen, IKEA, and an ad for Google Lens featuring comedian Megan Stalter and made in partnership with the box office smash, “Barbie.” Sophie has also edited promotional spots for professional sports organizations like the US Tennis Association, ESPN and the NFL.
“I’ve always been inspired by the editors around me at Final Cut, and I’m honored to be stepping up into leadership alongside some of the people I respect most in our industry,” remarked Sophie on becoming a partner at Final Cut. “I am consistently in awe of how Final Cut continues to bring a wide array of talent under one roof. Our NY office has always had strong female leadership, and I look forward to continuing in those footsteps. As we continue to evolve, our bar for authentic and compelling work and talent remains incredibly high, and I can’t wait to see what we can create and build in the future.”
Sarah Roebuck, an executive producer and managing director of Final Cut added, “I’m so excited to be announcing Sophie as a partner at Final Cut! She has worked tirelessly to get to this place, and seeing her career evolve has been inspiring for all to witness. She is a mentor to our next generation of talent and has her sights set on investing in our continued future of creative excellence. I couldn’t be happier working with her in this new role and am thrilled to be on this journey with her.”
