Thrilled to announce another big hitter from the world of advertising film production to the Kinsale 2026 Jury, David Webb, managing director at Final Cut
David is also an award- winning editor. In his role, David oversees global operations, strategic partnerships, and creative development across offices in London, New York, and Los Angeles. His leadership has been instrumental in positioning Final Cut as one of the most respected post-production companies in the industry.
David began his career editing commercials, collaborating with some of the industry’s most celebrated directors, including Edgar Wright, Vaughan Arnell and Anthea Benton, Traktor, Malcolm Venville, Walter Stern and Philippe André, before transitioning into longform work at the request of director Jim Field Smith. The pair have since developed a close creative partnership, collaborating on several acclaimed series including The Wrong Mans (BBC/Hulu), Criminal (Netflix), Defending the Guilty (BBC), Truth Seekers (Amazon), and Litvinenko (ITV Studios), starring David Tennant. Many of these projects have received major recognition, including BAFTA, EMMY and RTS nominations.
Under his leadership, Final Cut continues to set the standard for editorial storytelling across formats and genres.
