The Rough Cut

Editor - Kyle Traynor

Although INDUSTRY editor Kyle Traynor joined the series already in progress in its sophomore season, by season three he would be given the cutting room keys to half of the season's episodes, including both the series premiere and its finale.

Created by Mickey Down and Konrad Kay, INDUSTRY follows a group of young graduates competing for a limited number of available full-time employment opportunities at Pierpoint, a top investment bank in London. The graduates include Harper Stern, a Black upstate New York native who uproots her life in pursuit of success despite having lied about the university she attended, Robert Spearing, a white working-class Oxford graduate who is eager to please and Yasmin Kara-Hanani, a privileged, well-connected child of Lebanese parents.
