As one of a small pool of editors at Land & Sky, I have cut a range of documentaries for clients including Alpkit, Komoot, Kendal Mountain Festival and Guardian Documentaries. Current assignment is a 15-minute film for The Documentary Society. I also contribute to story development and preproduction.
Last year I took on the challenge of writing screenplays rather than prose, and immediately fell in love with the format and the possibilities of visual storytelling. I'm interested in story, character and the craft of cinema. My first script reached the final three of The Pitch. My second was a category winner at Grim North Film Festival. My third is under consideration for production this year. * Completed scripts for 10 short films. * Developing three feature films.* Script reading for industry* Co-writing with Andrew Banks — developing a 4x 45m detective drama. * Co-writing with Andrew Banks — developing a recurring period mystery drama.
