Sanchez arrives from Final Cut, Los Angeles, where his recent work included a DirecTV spot for Deutsch, Los Angeles, and director Chris Cooper, featuring Peyton and Eli Manning; and a campaign for Wrigley’s Extra Gum out of Energy BBDO, Chicago. Additionally, he has just completed a short film, The Diagnosis, directed by Coleman Hough, best known as the screenwriter of the Steven Soderbergh films Bubble and Full Frontal.
Previously, Sanchez spent five years with the Santa Monica office of The Whitehouse. His work there included the original Whassup? spot for Budweiser (DDB, Chicago; Charles Stone III, director), Fallon McElligott’s quirky “Dick” campaign for Miller Lite, and Puppets, a promo for PBS that won a Bronze Clio in 2004. Sanchez won a 2006 MVPA Award for Best Editor for Audioslave’s Doesn’t Remind Me.
Sanchez cited his longstanding friendship with FilmCore editor Doug Walker as the motivation for his move. “I’ve known Doug since I got into the business and we’ve wanted to work together for a long time,” he said. “I really like what’s been coming out of FilmCore recently and felt that now is the time.”
Sanchez said that he looks forward to continuing to take on projects of differing types and styles. “I love telling stories, whether it’s a comedy, drama or purely visual,” he said. “The diversity is what I like most about short form. If the project speaks to me and it involves good people, that’s half the battle.”
