Editor Metzger Joins Hootenanny
Editor Graham Metzger has joined the creative editorial
roster at Hootenanny, the newly formed post-production
company that opened in Chicago in early spring. Metzger
comes to Hootenanny after a seven-year tenure at Avenue
(also Chicago), during which he worked on accounts such
as McDonald’s, Big Ten Network, Sears, Chase and Berghoff
Beer. In addition to his position as
editor, Metzger will be taking on
the role of designer on specific
Hootenanny projects.
“I’m looking forward to the
structure of a smaller post house,
where it allows us all to wear
multiple hats,” says Metzger. “It’s
great to bounce between editing
and designing on a project, where
I can react to the comments in the room instantaneously.
And when I need to collaborate on a bigger project, I’ve
got other artists ready to roll in-house to get the job done.”
