KatieTurinski
Editor/Partner, EXILE
Katie Turinski is an award-winning filmmaker based in New York City. For nearly 20 years, her work has spanned multiple industries, with editing credits including the Oscars® shortlisted Netflix Original The Speed Cubers, multiple Super Bowl commercial campaigns, and the award-winning documentary feature Jesszilla.
Turinski is represented for commercial editorial by EXILE (Partner + Editor), where her clients include Facebook, Google, Nike, Coca-Cola, Ford, Sony, Samsung, Delta, and Toyota, among others. Prior to joining EXILE, she spent nine years at Joint, Wieden+Kennedy’s boutique post house. Both environments have afforded her the opportunity to collaborate with world-renowned talent within the advertising industry and allowed her to continually sharpen her storytelling skills.
Her documentary work varies in subject matter but shares common themes, including inclusivity, courage, acceptance, and humour. As a director as well as editor, she seeks to tell heartfelt stories about under-represented communities. Her feature documentary Sissyboy (Director/Editor) premiered at SXSW and features a drag queen performance art troupe in Portland, Oregon, during their final year of performances. Her award-winning short Sock Guys (Director/Editor) focuses on a young business owner with Down Syndrome whose mission is “spreading happiness.” She is currently in production on a new project featuring a differently-abled drum line as they work to rebuild after the Covid-19 pandemic.
Turinski lives in New York City with her husband and their beloved dog, Barnaby.
