Will Cahill÷Editor   Producer   Director   Photographer

My passion for editing grew from my love of telling stories and crafting solutions. I'm always pursuing the thrill of a well paced montage or a cut that brings new meaning to 2 distinct visuals. Working with small teams in advertising, branded social content, music videos, or community-based documentaries, I assemble, cut, color, composite, and communicate effectively and efficiently.

As X-15's Creative Content Manager, I'm a multitool for all things technical, post production, design, and client facing. On campaigns of all scopes, for Best Buy, Kohls, General Motors, and He Gets Us, what I bring to the table is my versatility and solid work ethic. I manage communications between clients and production/post partners; oversee edit, color, or VO sessions; manage the storage, transfers, and proper maintenance of client assets; serve as on set DIT and/or BTS videographer; edit photos and videos for award submission campaigns and social posts; assemble pitch decks, pre-production books, schedules and asset tracking matrixes; and lastly, oversee quality control, final delivery and archival of digital, broadcast and social spots. Consider visiting x-15.info to see the website I recently built and to learn more about the Special Ops of Production: X-15.

Outside of work I enjoy standing on moving boards (the surf, skate, or snow variety), playing tennis or guitar (parallel or perpendicular strings for today?), and exploring places familiar or foreign, urban or wild with a camera on my hip.
