Award-winning documentary and factual editor with over 25 years cutting programmes for all UK terrestrial channels. Rare in British broadcasting, a film-maker who works across the full breadth of the craft, from the edit suite to the composer's desk, the director's chair to the writer's room. I came to editing via a decade of self shooting and directing factual programming, which means I cut with a director's eye, understanding not just what's in the rushes, but what the film is trying to be. That instinct for story carries across everything I do: producing and directing short films (including an international festival prize-winner), composing for picture with over 300 published pieces in a PRS-registered music library, and developing original formats and narrative work. A complete film-maker, available for editorial, directing, composing and production commissions at any scale.
