"I've admired Brandon's work for a long time," Garrett said. "He has movie posters in his blood, and his encyclopedic knowledge of design history plays an inspired role in his creative process. He really knows how to promote a stunning film with an equally arresting image. Brandon is the perfect man to head up our new print division and open a whole new chapter for Jump Cut. Best of all, we can now produce more integrated campaigns across multiple channels and platforms, and really enhance our skills like never before." Schaefer added: "As we've collaborated on a lot of the same projects over the years, I've always been taken with the way Jump Cut approaches their craft, their passion for film and our shared sensibility about design. I'm excited to work with Stephen and his team to make the print division a place which the industry can consistently turn to for outstanding creative ideas." Schaefer is a graphic designer and former writer for film.com. His clients have ranged from IFC Films to The New York Times, and his work has been exhibited internationally and featured in several publications over the years. He has designed home video packaging and key-art for contemporary independent productions to foreign and Hollywood classics, such as Lawrence of Arabia and West Side Story.
