Simply put, Brent is the best of the best.

A creative picture editor, a craftsman of the timeline, a master of pacing and pathos. Brent is a storyteller first and foremost.

He has a brilliant instinct for music and can create GFX or write a line of comm too. And he can surprise you, often seeing possibilities in a story that others might miss.

Talented, dedicated, calm, reliable - Brent makes the job a joy. And most importantly, he’s not shy of making a brew.

Always the first person I’d call when crewing up. Thank you Brent, for making work wonderful.

Brent is one of the most skilled editors I’ve worked with, their natural ability to understand a narrative quickly and efficiently is matched by incredible creative flair. It’s always a delight working with Brent who remains calm and collected when faced with busy schedules and large amounts of footage and complicated issues such as compliance. My films always have a real quality to them when Brent has edited them - somehow they manage to understand my creative vision and direction without me always knowing how to express it!

I’ve worked with Brent for over 3 years and I wholeheartedly recommend them for any edit you have coming up.

Very much enjoyed working with Brent on a fact ent competitive format. Technically very good, but also hard working, diligent, collaborative and editorially sound too. Would recommend.

Brent Ashdown delivers. He's not just experienced and creative but thoughtful, calm and chaos-proof - especially on first series with tight deadlines and fluctuating editorial briefs. He was impressive from the start when he was brought in to help on a first series for the BBC. He quickly got to grips with the sensitive content and setting the right tone and helped established the GFX/SFX style for the series.

Brent was an obvious choice for lead editor on another project, a first series for Channel 5. The challenge with this makeover show was ensuring the powerful human stories were as strong as the fabulous garden transformations. Brent delivered on both fronts.

Brent did brilliant creative work on This Is Jinsy for Sky Atlantic, a TV series which really presented some tough challenges - demanding the creation of an entire world through its CGI and visual effects. Brent's work was excellent: imaginative, colourful and inventive. Justin Chubb, writer & performer 'this is jinsy'

Brent has been working for years with us as a freelance and has become part of our “A” team. He was able to quickly prove he could do the job fast and well. Brent is regularly working with our clients who have praised him for his good work. They value him highly and he is often being requested on projects requiring strong attention to details, tricky reversioning, etc… We encountered some challenges with some of our regions like Turkey and Russia where compliance rules are stricter. Brent has helped enormously to restore trust in our department by these regions by producing exceptionally slick compliance work. He is and with no doubt will remain one of our most dedicated and thorough freelance. I highly value and recommend him.

Whether editing, creating infographics or producing a title sequence, Brent's work has been instrumental in the success of projects for us across different genres and for numerous clients. He is a pleasure to work with.

Brett was an excellent addition to the team, a fantastic editor that worked to a very tight deadline for our series and delivered to the highest standard under pressure. Also a genuinely nice bloke to work with! Would highly reccomend you snapping him up for your next production.
