PROFILE
John is a highly accomplished Film Editor based in London. Over his 11 year career he has worked on a huge number of projects including music videos, commercials, short films, television shows & feature films.
John always approaches each edit with the two key elements of story and emotion in the forefront of his mind and can craft a compelling narrative out of almost anything. His work has amassed a combined total of over 2 billion views on Youtube and has been shown many times on TV and in cinemas internationally. He has worked with some of the best music video & commercial directors in the business, so he is very adaptable and can change his style to suit any project. He is equally comfortable working very closely with a director as he is working completely alone without any direction. He has also been called in many times by directors, producers and commissioners alike, to recut projects that would have never seen the light of day if it weren’t for his unique editing abilities.
“John and I have fostered a collaborative culture over the years and I always enjoy our creative process. He comes to the table from a place of generosity, without any preconceived notions, and isn’t afraid to intellectually engage with challenging propositions. There’s a certain unspoken intuitive energy and trust to our collaborations that have often allowed for experimentation, whilst always striving to balance the integrity of the work. That’s what has drawn me to working with John – he represents someone who comes from a place of experience, understanding, and commitment.”
Bouha Kazmi (Director)
“John has a masterful knack for teasing out performance and shaping narrative. I’ve worked with him on everything from Channel 4 comedy commissions, to horror films, and I’ve found he has a sharp sense of suspense, comedy and rhythm when it comes to telling a story. I couldn’t ask for a better collaborator.”
OT Fagbenle (Actor & Director)
“Seriously he is one of the world’s best editors. If you need a hero in the edit suite then look no further than John. A true legend!”
Michelle An (Head of Video at Interscope Records)
“One has to be versed in varied cultures, have a love of film and an eclectic taste in music to be considered a great editor… and John has all the aforementioned.
He works tirelessly and meticulously to create something greater than the sum of it’s parts.”
DAPS (Director)
“John is the absolute best! A pleasure to work with, super talented and diplomatic. My go to guy!”
Hanan Cher (Visual Content Director at Interscope Records)
“John is one of the best editors I have ever worked with, hands down. His ability to marry what you’re hearing to what you’re seeing seems to be based on instinct and not necessarily something that can be taught. I can’t begin to tell you the number of videos that wouldn’t have been released if it hadn’t been for Johns exceptional editing skills.”
Lisa Foo (Video Commissioner)
