Also I attended the 2022 DGC Awards in Vancouver in the Fall having also been nominated by the DGC Awards for movie “Don’t Hang Up” starring Wendell Pierce (‘Bunk’ in The Wire, Jack Ryan) and Lauren Holly.

UPDATE*** Just back from cutting in Budapest for 7 weeks on a special new Trilogy for Hallmark, a co-pro between Canada, UK and Hungary. For Leif Bristow Films.

As well as episodic scripted, I also cut super high turn-around Narrative Features. It’s important for me to vary my work so to not be pigeon holed in one category and keep me fresh on my toes, ready for anything.

I can cut all genres from Horror, Thrillers , Romance to Family.

I was born in Germany due to my dad being on a UK Army posting there. I grew up as country lad in Wiltshire, UK and renting VHS movies from a local mobile video store van that popped round our village which kick started my movie passion. I studied Photography and Art in London and now I’m based in Toronto and proud to be a full member of the British Film Editors, BFE and a dual UK / CAD citizen. I was originally brought out to Canada in 2010 by Cineflix Productions to format their US, UK and Canadian TV shows.

A super cool project I cut dropped on NETFLIX worldwide “I WOKE UP A VAMPIRE” a big exciting scripted teen show, 13 Year old Carmie is a happy go lucky teen that feels she’s an outcast but soon finds she isn’t the only one after all in a world of Mythical hybrids. This incorporated all sorts of superhero type VFX with green / blue screens and the like. Showrunner is Tommy Lynch and is a production by Wildbrianhttps, Netflix trailer is here: //www.youtube.com/watch?v=07MyiuA23gY
