Nayim Saati's career as a shit-hot editor has taken him from New York to Amsterdam, but London has never been far from his thoughts. When Final Cut asked him to become their man in Amsterdam, it was a no-brainer
"My favourite part of this industry is the creative relationships we build on the way to great work," Saati says, "so beginning a new relationship with all the creative people at Final Cut is exciting. From my first chats with David Webb and Michelle Corney, I knew it would be a great fit and I'm thrilled to join such a talented roster of editors. I'm excited to help bring Final Cut's stellar reputation to Amsterdam."
So is Final Cut MD and editor David Webb for that matter: "We're chuffed to have Nayim join our roster of editors. He's an exciting talent and one to watch. We think he will perfectly complement our existing roster and give us boots on the ground in Amsterdam, a city that we all know and love." Speaking of love, there are feelings and there are feelings—this Bumble commercial deals with the latter. Saati and director Giada Bossi flit between a man and a woman who've hit algorithmic pay dirt, with split-screen used to highlight both characters' body language. The screen becomes whole when Alex and the protagonist get past the small talk stage.
