Northern Lights executive producer Robin Hall said, “Jon has proven he has the work ethic, technical skills and most of all — the magic elixir that editors have — the sense of how to tell a story. I’m truly excited to know he’s become a full-fledged editor, and I look forward to working with him as he continues to grow.”
Growing up in Harrisburg, Penn., with a fascination for all things film-related, Simpson headed to NYC to study at the New York University Tisch School of the Arts. While a student there, he wrote, directed and edited over a dozen short films. Seeking to get hands-on experience on the postproduction side, he landed as an assistant editor, working at numerous NY shops including Cliff Schwarz Music, Bionic, Sound Hound and NBC Universal, before joining Northern Lights.
