Hello,

I'm Ross. I'm a BAFTA-winning film & television editor based in London.

Hopefully, you might have seen or heard of a few things I've cut. I edited the feature documentary White Nanny Black Child for Tigerlily Films and Doc Society, for which I won a BAFTA along with the rest of the core creative team. The film also won a Royal Television Society award. I was the lead editor on the critically-acclaimed feature documentary Undercover: Exposing The Far Right, also for Tigerlily Films, which was broadcast on Channel 4.

I was an editor on two episodes (and additional editor on a third episode) of Who Is Erin Carter? for Left Bank Pictures, which you can find streaming on Netflix, where it was the third most-viewed show globally on the platform in the six months following release. I cut three episodes of the popular returning series The Bay for ITV, which are due to air soon. I also edited Living Every Second: The Kris Hallenga Story which was broadcast on the BBC.

Beyond the long-form projects I’ve worked on, I have also cut many, many short films including the BAFTA-nominated Yellow (dir. Elham Ehsas), BIFA-nominated Honesty (dir. Roxy Rezvany) and Grierson-winning Country Girl (dir. Ellen Evans). I also worked as a first-assistant editor on a bunch of shows and features, such as A Spy Among Friends, Ten Percent and the BAFTA-winning BBC documentary series Exodus.

Prior to all that, I graduated from the MA Editing programme at The National Film & Television School. I was also selected for Berlinale Talents in 2023, and I am a current member of BAFTA Connect. 

Now that I've sufficiently blown my own trumpet; some other stuff about me. One of the things I've come to love most about editing is how each project is different from the last and I get to be immersed in a unique world and learn new things every time. So, I'm very open-minded about potential new projects.

An aspect that I especially value though, is any sort of social-justice issue being tackled in a way that is new and interesting. I think that genre films can be brilliant vehicles for these themes too, where there is scope to be more metaphorical.

I've worked on quite a few projects that deal with various aspects of the refugee and diaspora experiences, and that's also something I'm always keen to explore more; especially as forced migration increases due to the climate crisis. 

I think it's unlikely that any individual film is going to change the world, but I'm a big believer in Roger Ebert's idea that a film is like a "machine that generates empathy," and slowly, cumulatively, all our work can and does bring about changes in social attitudes. 

Ultimately though, nothing can beat working with talented and kind people, on projects you care about - no matter the subject. So, always feel free to get in touch. I love to hear from new people, and read scripts and pitches. You can find my agent's details on the contact page. 

Equally, if you're just getting started in an editing career yourself and want to hear about my experiences, then please reach out too!
