Nomad Editing Company elevates Kallie Billadeau to editor

Now, as a full-fledged member of Nomad’s tight-knit creative team, Billadeau joins the recent additions of Editor Sam Perkins, Senior Lead Flame Artist Steve Morris, ECD Chadwick Halbritter, and Partner/Editors Brandon Porter and Conor O’Neill. “When I originally joined Nomad, the work they were doing was so far beyond anything I was involved with at the time, so I was extremely happy to have the chance to come on board,” she says. “When I met Director/Partner Jennifer Lederman and the rest of the Partners, it instantly felt like a family, one that I knew would constantly push me to become a better editor. So I’m incredibly excited to start this next chapter in my career and beyond lucky to be doing it at Nomad.”

According to Lederman, “When the NY Partners and I became involved in Nomad, we had concrete goals of creating a company that celebrated new talent and provided pathways for the staff to grow internally. Kallie is our first promotion to editor, so it’s a celebrated event for us all. The fact is, Billadeau’s talent was impossible to ignore. She not only excelled at the projects we brought to her, she also sought out director relationships and was able to add really exceptional spots to her reel by doing so. She’s a great role model to any assistant editor looking to grow.”

Nomad Partner/Editor Jim Ulbrich is equally excited, adding that the decision to advance Billadeau was an easy one. “Kallie is a force. She’s very driven, and she’s earned the success she’s experiencing. Ultimately, it was an easy decision for us to promote her to editor. It’s obvious she has a passion for the craft, which is evident in her fun, somewhat irreverent editing style. It’s always a pleasure to see what she’s been up to and how she’s enhanced a particular project. Overall, Kallie’s work is helping to expand the scope of work we do at Nomad, and we couldn’t be more proud of her.”
