Offline editor | 1×15’

A young refugee has come to Manchester in search of a new life, but it's come at a price. Brutalised at home and bullied at school, his only answer is to lash out at the world around him.

Based on a real events, Rabbit Punch is the first short film I've edited with director Keith Farrell, and we've gone on to make a couple of others since. It's been shown at many festivals across the world and has even won a couple, including best Best North West Short in Bolton 2017!

About

 

Video editing: adding punctuating to an actor’s performance, blending cinematography with music and finding pace and cohesion within a narrative to evoke a strong emotional response; it’s a very rewarding process and a big passion of mine.

My work as an editor generally falls into two camps; my main focus is pursuing a career as a long-form narrative editor, which is to work on scripted productions such as TV drama and film. I've worked in this field predominantly since going freelance, both as an offline editor and as a 1st AE, continually developing my own methodical, fast and instinctive approach to storytelling.

I'm also an experienced online editor, having been a staff onliner for many years prior, and one that I still keep my toes in. It's role that gets me involved with a broad variety of production genres, and can cover anything from colour grading to visual effects to file-encoding and delivery - essentially, I can handle the finishing stages of post.

I'm based near Cardiff, South Wales, though I'm happy whittling away long days at any edit suite across the UK. I've also got a great Avid setup at home which has seen plenty of investment recently with the shift towards remote operating.
