I have been in the film industry for a while and have accumulated many skills over the years. But I must admit that my passion lies in editing. I really love crafting story. I have spent the last 12 years working almost exclusively on TV Drama shows, Feature films and Short films . TV shows include, The Professionals with Tom Welling and Brendan Fraser and The Cowboy War, an upcoming 6 part Netflix show about (I can’t tell you). As well as a new Netflix show called Magenta Coal which I am in the final stages of cutting.
On the music concert and video front I have crafted material for Mango Groove, Watershed, Steve Hofmeyr, the great and legendary Texan Shawn Phillips and British based band Marillion.
I have also worked on several feature films, more recently Jewel which was picked up by Netflix ans an Original, an American/South African Co-Production of Zulu Wedding. And… I completed post on 2 short films.
I am very skilled in FCPX, Adobe Premiere, Adobe Audition, Photoshop. I am semi skilled in Avid, After Effects, Cubase, Logic Pro, and various other bits and pieces of software. I am also technically very adept and have served time as post production supervisor, head editor and chief sound designer for several years. I also happen to have won several awards for my work, from editing to sound design as well as camerawork and directing.
I am most at home in the edit suite these days but I do really enjoy getting my hands dirty in all aspects of the television process. I work well with others and require no adult supervision at anytime.

It’s been busy. I said yes to a bunch of things over Xmas thinking none would happen and they all did. So I am juggling a few things right now, I’m logging into a client network in New York to cut 3 episodes of an upcoming Netflix show which is really interesting. Then another 6 part show, Magenta Coal also with Netflix as well as the ever broadening scope of work with The Bomb Shelter in South Africa. Currently helping out on a very expensive bit of SA TV, Shhhh… Did I say busy? I meant manic:-)
