After graduating with a Fine Art degree, I entered the film and television industry in 1997 as a runner, then assistant editor in commercials and promos 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 nomination and won an RTS 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, directed by Sam Miller and John Ridley and starring Idris Elba; THE BOY WITH THE TOPKNOT for Lynsey Miller as well as CURFEW for Colm McCarthy and Christopher Smith and WAR OF THE WORLDS for Richard Clark.

 

I have been a BAFTA member for many years and have sat on the BAFTA television jury. Recent credits include feature film BALLYWALTER for Prasanna Puwanarajah (BFI/Screen Ireland/ Screen Northern Ireland) and IT'S A SIN for Peter Hoar, written by Russell T Davies which aired this year on Channel 4 and HBO Max. I am currently editing Netflix's HALF BAD for Colm McCarthy, written by Joe Barton, based on the trilogy by Sally Green.
