Richard is a British film editor with a wealth of experience cutting scripted films and television, particularly comedy and comedy drama. He has extensive experience with projects containing high amounts of high end visual effects (including live action projects with animated characters, as well as fully animated projects).

He began his career as a visual effects editor working on productions such as Edgar Wright’s Scott Pilgrim Vs The World, Paul King’s Paddington and Ridley Scott’s The Martian.
