Immensely proud to be Lead Editor on Hijack – Season 2. Huge shout-out to Jim Field Smith and the entire post team. Thousands upon thousands of hours of film craft went into building this detailed new world for Sam Nelson to inhabit — with editing, VFX, and sound departments all operating at full tilt. So detailed, in fact, that a trainspotter from Heidelberg felt compelled to comment: “That’s not what the BVG F92 door opener sounds like!” Dammit! Hope you’re along for the ride — regardless. 🚆🔥

We are hyped for the tense new trailer for Hijack Season 2. Don't miss the journey: Hijack Season 2 begins streaming January 14 on @appletv .

Running Man cast & crew screening. 2025 — my worlds collide. I was lucky enough to cut some ads & additional material that feature in Edgar Wright’s barnstormer of a film The Running Man. Saw it again today with the kids, who gave it a straight 10 — even the bits I didn’t do! Catch it on the biggest screen possible. 🔥🎬 #runningmanmovie @finalcutedit @edgarwright

After a couple of decades purporting to be a film editor. I finally got to edit a film! Courtesy of Ben Taylor, Netflix, Wildgaze and Pathe films. Feeling proud and grateful. Premieres 15 October at the BFI London film festival.

A panel of editors - commonly known as a snorefest , but quite the opposite in this case. A fun night out in Hollywood thanks to AppleTV+

Apple FYC Emmys - talked about editing, met some lovely people. drank some cocktails.
