Documentary editing services (London / UK)

I’m a London-based documentary film editor, writer and edit consultant (also Sydney), working across feature docs and series. I’m often brought in from concept through to completion - shaping story and structure, character and performance, building archive sequences, and finishing the offline so handover to online/grade/mix is smooth. I’m also brought in mid-cut or late in the edit to troubleshoot structure, pacing and tone, and to lift and polish an existing cut.

What I do

  • Long-form offline editing (series + features) and edit/story consulting

  • Story + structure passes (beat map, paper edit, restructuring)

  • Archive-heavy sequences and narrative builds

  • Sizzles / pitch tapes / trailers

  • Delivery support and smooth handover to online/grade/mix​​

How we can work together (London + remote)

Available for in-person sessions across London/UK, or remote worldwide. I can join from rushes and build a cut from the ground up, or step in mid-process for a story pass to sharpen structure, pacing and clarity.

Tools & Workflow

Avid Media Composer and Adobe Premiere Pro. Comfortable with long-form organisation, transcripts, archive management, and a tidy turnover for online.

Tell me your format (feature/one-off/series), where you’re at (rushes/assembly/cut), and your timeline.

Documentary film editor: Sydney + London (remote worldwide). Credits: Netflix, Disney+, BBC, ABC, SBS, National Geographic. Avid Media Composer + Adobe Premiere Pro. Contact for availability.
