I am an experienced TV, Feature and Short Film Editor, living and working in Manchester UK. I started out on low budget shorts and worked my way up to cutting several award winning and theatrically released feature films. In 2017 I edited ‘In Another Life ‘ which won Best UK Feature at Raindance and the Discovery Award at BIFA, and then went on to work with director Jason Wingard again on ensemble comedy ‘Eaten By Lions’ which secured a 4 week run in multiplex theatres throughout the country and got 4* reviews from major newspapers including the Guardian.
In 2019 I turned my attention to gaining TV experience and worked on S2 of popular CBBC series ‘Creeped Out’ working with directors Lucy Campbell and Gareth Tunley. The show was awarded the BAFTA for Best Children’s Drama. I then went on to work with Gareth again on a 4 part drama for Channel 5, ‘Cold Call’ starring Sally Lindsey.
I now split my time between TV Drama and independent projects. Most recently I was the Lead Editor on Waterloo Road from series 14 to 17, editing half of the episodes in that run for Rope Ladder Fiction. I worked with many directors on the show including Robin Sheppard, John Maidens, Jesse Quinones, Amy Coop and Angela Griffin. I also edited short film ‘Housewarming’, written and directed by Liam White, which won Best Short Film at Raindance and was also nominated for a BIFA.
I bring passion, integrity and a love of filmmaking to every job I do. My goal on any project is to absorb the DNA of the story we are trying to tell, gaining an encyclopaedic knowledge of the themes and story so that I can offer up creative solutions to any issues that might arise. Having spent a few years in a previous life as an Avid Certified Trainer, I have deep technical knowledge of software and workflows. But whilst I know where all the buttons are, I am more than just a button pusher. I contribute as a storyteller, using structure and style to better engage the audience and reflect the characters journeys. I love working with new people, so if you have a project that I might be a fit for, or you just want to chat about film or filmmaking, drop me an email.
