Leap Year Welcomes Editor Sarah Jordan to its Roster
Post studio Leap Year, launched by production company Voyager, proudly announces the signing of editor Sarah Jordan to its expanding editorial lineup. Known for her sharp comedic timing and her ability to bring a documentary eye to commercial storytelling, Sarah has contributed to major campaigns for Dunkin’, Mint Mobile, Pantalones, Kiehl’s, and Super Bowl spots, as well as long-form projects for HBO Max, Netflix, and Showtime.
“What’s special about Sarah is she has the ability to translate her longform storytelling instincts into shortform commercials so effortlessly,” shares Leap Year Founder/Creative Director, Charles Frank. “She can build a rich, layered story over a longer runtime or craft a :15 or :30 that still delivers a complete narrative arc and emotional punch. Her documentary background also gives her comedic timing this intuitive, off-the-cuff rhythm that is so present across her work. I’m a big fan and feel lucky to collaborate with her.”
Over the course of her career, Sarah has lent her storytelling expertise to collaborations with Artists Equity, Maximum Effort, Jigsaw Productions, Mass Appeal, and Westbrook, balancing humor-driven commercial work with emotionally resonant documentaries. After making her first film in college, she began her career assisting at an NYC edit house before moving into the freelance documentary world, where she edited short films for Mass Appeal and later contributed to feature-length projects including HBO’s "Tiger," Showtime’s "Sophia," and Netflix’s "Money Shot," named one of Variety’s Best Documentaries of 2023. As a freelancer, her documentary-style approach translated naturally into commercial work, leading to a series of Dunkin’ campaigns with Ben Affleck’s production company Artists Equity. She has since become a trusted collaborator and frequent editing partner to Affleck, including on her first Super Bowl spot, and later worked with Ryan Reynolds’ Maximum Effort.
Looking for a creative home that shared her values of authenticity and collaboration, Sarah discovered Leap Year and instantly connected with their philosophy and body of work. After speaking with Co-Founder Charles Frank, she joined the team on a trial project, editing the latest Cologuard campaign directed by Voyager’s Grayson Whitehurst.
“There’s a real sense of care at Leap Year,” shares Sarah. “Not just for the work, but for the people and the process behind it. They approach every project with intention and attention to detail. It’s rare to find a team that’s creating such great work while being so genuinely supportive. I’m excited to explore new creative ground with them and see what we build together.”
