After graduating with a Fine Art degree, I entered the film and television industry in 1997 as a runner, then assistant editor in commercials with Sam Sneade. I then began assisting in drama on both tv and feature projects such as HUSTLE for Kudos, THE CANTERBURY TALES for BBC and KING ARTHUR for Jerry Bruckheimer Films.

I've edited many award-winning dramas over the years including Otto Bathurst’s CRIMINAL JUSTICE

starring Ben Whishaw, for which I received a BAFTA craft nomination and won an RTS craft award.

I also cut Otto's FIVE DAYS starring David Oyelowo and Rory Kinnear (also receiving a BAFTA nomination for editing). I have edited Luke Watson’s THE VILLAGE and Peter Hoar’s BREAKING THE MOULD and in 2016, Ben Anthony's DON’T TAKE MY BABY won a BAFTA for Best Single Drama.

Other credits include THE LAST KINGDOM for Peter Hoar; GUERRILLA, for Sam Miller and John Ridley; CURFEW and HALF BAD: THE BASTARD SON AND THE DEVIL HIMSELF for Colm McCarthy and WAR OF THE WORLDS for Richard Clark.

 

Recent credits include feature BALLYWALTER (co-editor) for Prasanna Puwanarajah, NOLLY for Peter Hoar and KIDNAPPED: THE CHLOE AYLING STORY for Al Mackay. BLACK MIRROR 'Common People' for Ally Pankiw aired in April.

 

In 2022, I won a BAFTA craft award and an RTS craft award for IT'S A SIN, directed by Peter Hoar and in December 2023, I won a WFTV Award for Contribution To The Medium. I have recently been nominated for a Children's and Family EMMY (Best Editing for a Single Camera Live Action Program) and won a BAFTA as part of the craft team for THE VELVETEEN RABBIT for Jennifer Perrott and Rick Thiele.

I am currently editing feature DEAD LETTERS for David N. Drake.
