About Me

After 15 years' editing, directing and producing I'm stepping away from the industry. Having helped numerous projects achieve their full potential (including those that have struggled in the edit), and had a successul track record in having sizzles commissioned, I am continuing to offer short-term consultant editor/story/script/workflow assist...

If... when... our voluntary sector project receives its funding and begins to deliver what our post-Covid community so desperately needs, it will be due in no small measure to James' intelligence, insight and prodigious skillset.

Everyone who has so far seen our 5-minute video has been blown away by the way James watched, listened, asked, understood, and then reflected back the absolute essence of what we're about. He wrote the brief in consultation with us, shot the footage, created and narrated the script, produced and edited. He even returned during a family holiday to repeat some drone footage because he wasn't quite satisfied with the first attempt.

On top of all that, he's a delight to work with; personable, pleasant, with an easy manner that draws out people's on-camera stories, yet totally committed to the result. We would engage James to run any future video project in a heartbeat.
