BIOGRAPHY
As an art student in the early nineties I had my Eureka moment. I discovered film editing. The thrill of putting images, music and narrative together to create a story was a revelation: if I wanted to really say something in film then I had found a magic key.
As an assistant editor I made early forays into drama and fiction but documentary films soon became a passion.
Over the years my career has developed into feature documentary work and high-end TV. My work has achieved festival and industry awards including RTS editing nominations and Emmy and Grieson recognition.
In 2003 I won the BAFTA Award for editing for SAS: Iranian Embassy Siege and most recently 8 Days to The Moon and Back has been nominated for an Emmy.
I try to seek out a broad diversity of work that keeps me curious and intrigued: I want to discover the emotional and human arc of a story as well as the clarity and simplicity. I have a truly collaborative approach and I enjoy helping to take the story, the visual experience and the viewer experience to the next level.
