About Matthew

  • Share profile:
As an Offline Editor I am a discerning and imaginative professional, who only strives for nothing less than complete commitment to the job - or jobs - in hand. I am passionate about culture and the arts in general, and use such an appreciation to shape my output as a creative Editor. Although I am also a skilled all-round film-maker who is adept at camera operation, self-shooting direction and script supervision, my ambition is to become a leading Editor within the British film and TV industries.
