Testimonials

Iain MacLeod

“James is a hugely talented editor who cuts drama impeccably, to tight timetables and with a natural feel for story and rhythm. He was also one of our ‘go to’ people for sizzle reels and trails and can cut to music with the best of them. On top of all this, he’s also a thoroughly good egg!”

'Having worked with James over a number of years I have always found him to be enthusiastic and collaborative. Always engaged with the script, he gets to the heart of what the scenes and the story are about and is quick to spot what is working and what is not. Extremely quick and technically efficient, James’ creative contribution is invaluable to any project.’
