Based in London, I’ve spent the last decade cutting visceral, emotionally charged, and striking documentary films.
In the past year, I’ve worked with Keo Films on two projects, including Bombing Brighton: The Plot to Kill Thatcher described as “thought-provoking,” “exemplary,” and “intelligent,” and praised by papers across the political spectrum.
This summer, 7/7: Homegrown Terror (Blast! Films) premiered at Sheffield DocFest before airing on Sky Documentaries. The Guardian called it “a stunningly powerful series.”
In 2021, I edited the BAFTA-nominated Netflix feature documentary Nailbomber: Manhunt alongside Rupert Haussmann; we also collaborated on the RTS-winning Grayson’s Art Club for Channel 4. “The best piece of telly that we have put on in the last three or four years." Ian Katz, Channel 4’s Director of Programmes.
Artist in Residence: The Football Club (2019) and Suicidal: In Our Own Words (2020) both picked up Grierson Awards. The first an artistic portrait of West Bromwich Albion as they were relegated from the Premier League, the second an intimate portrait of six men in the most vulnerable of circumstances.
I started out as a Westminster Film School graduate who tried to make it in a band (critical praise, very few fans…) before spending five years as an in-house editor at VICE, cutting documentaries on illegal raves in war zones, Salford gangsters, Gaycations and music docs with Mike Skinner, Skepta, and Liam Gallagher. (Apologies to the UK hip-hop heads from Bristol for this one )
Upcoming work includes a feature following a Syrian refugee family over ten years (Keo Films for PBS/BBC), a Mobeen Azhar invesigation into the state of the prison system (Forest for BBC3) and a portrait of Nick Cave’s creative process for Sky Arts.
I won’t necessarily bring flowers into the edit… but I might.
