About House of Trim
House of Trim is an independent boutique post-production studio and creative collective based in Brooklyn, New York City. Established in 2014, it works across commercial advertising, branded entertainment, documentary film and digital content. Its editorial-led approach connects narrative picture editing with motion design, color, sound and final delivery.
The studio’s work spans short brand campaigns, digital comedy, cultural portraits, sports documentaries and feature-length nonfiction. This range brings commercial storytelling and documentary editorial together within a practice that follows projects from creative editing through finishing and mastering.
Editorial through delivery
House of Trim provides picture editorial for broadcast commercials, branded series, feature documentaries and digital shorts. Motion graphics, title animation and visual design can be integrated directly into editorial timelines. Its sound services include dialogue editing, audio restoration, sound design and broadcast-compliant stereo and surround mixing.
Color work encompasses correction and grading for standard and high-dynamic-range formats. Finishing services include online editing, visual clean-up, conforming, formatting and multi-platform delivery, supporting the technical stages that follow the creative edit.
Commercial and documentary work
The commercial portfolio includes Mercedes-Benz’s Lil’ Benz, McDonald’s The List, Starbucks’ Bianca and Patagonia’s You Scare Them. Branded documentary projects include Laphroaig’s Hollow By The Bay and Astier de Villatte’s Inside the Paris Workshop.
For GQ, the studio edited comedy shorts featuring Dwayne Johnson and Robert Pattinson, including Imaginary Film Roles and Fear and Shame. Its cultural editorial work also includes Esquire’s Watching Frank, a documentary short examining Gay Talese’s profile of Frank Sinatra.
Sports projects include ESPN’s Royal in Hollis and The Six Day Race, covering basketball player Royal Ivey and cycling champion Marshall “Major” Taylor. In feature and festival documentary production, its history includes editorial work on Homme Less and post-production credits on The Art of Ostad Elahi and Love from afar. Together, these projects reflect a portfolio extending from advertising and entertainment to biographical and cultural nonfiction.
