Charles Frank and Andrew Hutcheson, Co-Founders of Brooklyn-based production company\u00a0Voyager<\/a>,\u00a0are thrilled to unveil their latest venture: the launch of post-production studio, Leap Year<\/a>.\u00a0With the creation of Leap Year, they are solidifying their commitment to post-production, offering a stand-alone studio with a curated roster of top-tier talent, and are excited to open their doors to like-minded collaborators including other production companies, agencies and brands.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“Leap Year’s evolution from an internal post solution at Voyager to a broader, independent studio offering was driven by our extensive experience and network in both production and post equally,\u201d shares Co-Founder\/Director Frank. \u201cRecognizing its potential beyond our walls, what started as a conversation about enhancing our offerings in a more substantial way quickly transformed into a vision of collaboration with other production companies, agencies, and clients we admire, shaping a new era of creative partnership.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Since co-founding the successful production house in 2015, Voyager has\u00a0regularly shepherded their productions through post in-house, executing countless film and commercial projects through final delivery. Transforming it into a boutique standalone post-production studio was a natural progression. Voyager Senior Editor, Austen Deery, organically transitioned to Leap Year\u2019s creative roster, and is accompanied by editors Nico Frank, Kauai and Jeff Watterson, for each of whom this is their first exclusive commercial representation following successful freelance editing careers in their own right.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cHanding off projects after shooting felt like a disservice to the storytelling essence our agencies and partners sought,\u201d expresses Co-Founder\/EP Hutcheson. \u201cLeap Year emerged as a natural extension of that, aiming to enhance partnerships and support directors in crafting compelling narratives. For us, the process is as crucial as the outcome, and Leap Year is dedicated to amplifying that focus.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The team also welcomes Managing Director and EP Kira MacKnight, whose tenure at esteemed audio post-production studio, One Thousand Birds, included spearheading Super Bowl campaigns for clients such as Squarespace, Crown Royal, Bud Light and TurboTax, and\u00a0countless films with extensive festival runs, including the Academy Award-nominated \u201cTraffic Stop\u201d and the Emmy-winning \u201cZion.\u201d Additionally, she has collaborated with clients including Chanel, Apple, Marvel, Peloton and Adidas and has worked on a variety of film and experiential projects for artists like Janelle Mon\u00e1e, Charli XCX, Fka Twigs, Tyler, the Creator, among others.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cMy passion lies in building frameworks and processes for teams to be able to grow, adapt, and thrive,\u201d shares MacKnight. \u201cJoining Leap Year at this pivotal moment and being able to do just that in support of providing the best possible experience for our insanely talented roster of editors and our clients is a dream come true.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The post-production hub cleverly chose February 29th for its launch, echoing the human-made \u201cleap year\u201d concept which adds an extra day to the calendar to synchronize seasons. Leap Year believes in the importance of\u00a0making time<\/em>. Working collaboratively out of Voyager’s new headquarters in Brooklyn\u2019s Fort Greene neighborhood, they offer real-time remote and in-person sessions in their new edit suite.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A trusted partner among agencies and brands and a successful launchpad for emerging directors, Voyager has collaborated year after year with the biggest and best brands in the world including Nike, Meta, and Kia among others. Their work has been acknowledged at the most prestigious festivals and award shows, from SXSW and the Academy Awards to Cannes Lions and The One Show.<\/p>\n
