Read MoreAlana Tiernan is an experienced TV/Film Development Sizzle [Taster Tape] Editor & Promo Editor with 7 years of experience across both scripted and unscripted genres. She is one of few female sizzle editors in the field, and loves finding the best way to bring about a feeling or a certain energy from an edit. A sizzle can play an instrumental part in securing funding and helps others gain a better understanding of where you want to take your project.

Whether that’s energised and epic, thoughtful and intrigued, or totally blown away with MAFS-level drama and comedy…
From 2017 until December 2023, I worked for Gordon Ramsay’s production company in London starting out as an assistant and working up to Development Producer, where I helped develop award-winning shows; worked across BAFTA-award-winning series like Gordon, Gino and Fred’s Road Trip series (ITV) and Next Level Chef (FOX); and cut sizzle-after-sizzle for the UK & US, securing commissions with various networks including Amazon, BBC, ITV, C4, FOX and National Geographic.
Here, I also directed and co-produced an award-winning short documentary fronted by Gordon Ramsay’s daughter, Holly Ramsay on the importance of ‘the talk’ [sex education] in a child’s upbringing which had its premiere in Los Angeles.
In 2021, I had the privilege of editing the opening of Shush Film’s feature film Three Day Millionaire, available on Netflix and was also selected to join BAFTA x Connect. Prior to this, I worked on various productions including on location in Spain on Channel 4’s A New Life in the Sun, and cut my teeth on the set of Emmerdale, in Leeds, where I grew up.
