Editorial and post production boutique Northern Lights hired Pat Carpenter as its new creative director/editor.

Carpenter joins the bi-coastal editorial and post production boutique with decades of experience across commercials, broadcast promos, documentaries, music and long form content.

“Pat has such a strong and unique visual style; he’s a perfect fit for Northern Lights,” said Partner David Gioiella.

Carpenter’s work includes projects with Definition 6, Creative Bubble and Unitel in New York City. He has won a Silver Lion for his work on “Talking Wall” for Benjamin Moore out of The Martin Agency, and a Gold CLIO for his work on “Happiness Machine” for Coca-Cola, as well as numerous PromaxBDA awards for his broadcast work. His clients include USA, Syfy, Nickelodeon, Pivot and HBO.

Carpenter said he’s looking forward to the new position at Northern Lights.

“Being able to offer ideation through completion in one environment is extremely important and a process that I have always embraced in my career,” he said.

Born and raised in New York City, Carpenter began pursuing video production at Saint John’s University before getting his professional start Unitel.

He helped launch production shop Creative Bubble in 2001, working with clients that included HBO, USA and MTV, and went on to spearhead the creative vision for production through post services at Definition 6 and Ripcord Creative.

Carpenter served as executive producer on the travel/reality game series M.I.A.: The Most Interesting Assistant and the digital tech comedy series The Circuit for the now defunct Mojo Channel. He also worked on the 2015 documentary feature Adult Rappers.

With a history of moonlighting as a drummer in New York City’s punk rock scene, Carpenter continues to play music gigs, recently playing drums at the sold-out Joey Ramone Birthday Bash at Webster Hall alongside L.E.S. legends Mickey Leigh and Andy Shernoff of “The Dictators.”
Northern Lights sister production company BODEGA shot a 360 VR film of the epic event that will be released later this summer.
