I love working with Miriam! She has edit produced for me on 2 series and she is a complete pro, very good editorially and a great writer.
Miriam is brilliant edit producer who is a joy to work with. She was my EP of choice on several series of a fast turnaround show. I always knew she would make the best story possible out of the material with bags of wit and warmth, quickly and without any fuss. An overstretched SP’s dream basically!
I have worked with Miriam several times and am always keen to get her on board a project because of the calm, intelligent and accommodating way in which she works. Miriam can multi-task brilliantly and manage multiple edits seamlessly. She's also easy to work with because of her positive outlook, barely flinching when briefs change mid edit. Miriam is realistic about what's achievable within time and budget restraints but is both creative and a grafter, so she will ensure that she will deliver the best she possibly can. I recommend her very highly.
I first encountered Miriam when I was looking for editor producers for the second series of a fast-turnaround, high-volume series for BBC Two. Miriam explained that she had been unable to view any of the first series but had managed (astonishingly) to find a transcript: from that she had analysed the format of the show and was able to demonstrate a clear grasp of what was required. From that point on I have never ceased to be impressed by Miriam's clear-headed approach to any project she is tasked with. She remains cool and focused at all times, establishes strong working relationships with editors and her writing is witty and sharp, and always tonally appropriate. She never fails to deliver high calibre programmes and is always one of the first people I ring if I'm in need of a safe pair of hands for edits.
Miriam is an outstanding Edit Producer. She writes with flair, is technically excellent and has the ability to adapt quickly to varying genres. She is always able to hold in clear view, the over-arching editorial narrative of a series, whilst crafting her own specific episode and content. She can work across long and short form, obs doc and magazine style content with confidence. I've worked with Miriam over a number of years, both as a fellow edit producer and as her Series Producer and I would work with her again in a heartbeat. She's an asset to any edit team, with a collaborative and engaging personality that makes her a joy to have as a colleague.
