About Edward

  • Share profile:
    I'm a highly creative producer / director and editor - comfortable in both disciplines

    I've made primetime shows for all the major UK broadcasters; BBC, ITV, Channel 4, Channel 5, Sky and Discovery and I'm familiar with documentary, reality, sport, formats, commercials and promos

    16 years editing experience has given me a strong narrative sense and is combined with a tenacious drive through to the completion of any project. I'm equally comfortable working supervised or unsupervised and remain friendly, cool and focussed in high-pressure situations
