Republic Editorial in Dallas Signs Editor Jaime Valdueza

A native of Madrid, Valdueza got his start in the US as the founder of Module Zero Media, a post-production house in Venice, California in 1998.  Teaming up with agencies such as J. Walter Thompson and Campbell-Ewald, he received numerous awards at Cannes, San Sebastian and other shows in the US and abroad.

After Module Zero Media, Valdueza took his talents to Lost Planet, where he worked under legendary editor Hank Corwin.  He’s collaborated with directors such as Antony Hoffman, Andy Fogwill, Rob Pritts and Alfredo de Villa, and was most recently represented by Cutters in L.A.

In addition to his commercial work, Valdueza has numerous features under his belt, including his most recent, “Anna,” the Studio Canal thriller produced by Jaume Collet Serra which was released this past June.  His credits also include “Fugly,” a comedy written by and starring John Leguizamo, which was directed by Alfredo De Villa.

“What I love about Jaime is his wide range of scope as an editor,” says Republic Editorial’s Partner/Senior Editor Keith James. “He’s able to tell many types of narrative, from comedy to drama, in both long and short formats.  It’s hard to find someone with such a varied skill set in today’s market.”

“I reached out to Republic Editorial for representation because they had such a great reputation in the Latino advertising community,” explains Jaime.  “Dallas is a hot bed for Latin work, and having a shop that’s intricately connected to the key players in town is exciting.” 

“We’re enthusiastic to have Jaime on our team,” adds Republic Editorial’s Partner/Managing Director Carrie Callaway.  “Many of our clients have previously worked with him and saw that his talent would be a perfect fit to our roster.  We’re looking forward to working with Jaime to continue to grow our presence in the Latin market.”

Valdueza joins Republic Editorial’s team of editors which includes Chris Gipson, Keith James, Patrick Hammond and Andy McGee.  Working with the company’s turn-key post production team of finishing, motion-graphics and visual effects artists, they’ve generated award-winning work in both general and Latin markets for such clients as McDonalds, AT&T, Nissan, 7-Eleven and Charter Communications.
