Hi, I’m Simon. A documentary and branded doc editor, focused on shaping honest, story-led films.

I work with broadcasters, streamers and brands who are making documentaries in a changing market and need stories that connect quickly without feeling forced. I create films that are clear, engaging and emotionally satisfying - and that hold an audience all the way through.

I cut both long-form and short-form documentaries, including branded films. That might mean weeks of observational rushes or a tightly produced branded film with a clear message. Either way, I focus on structure, pacing and emotional payoff — finding what really matters in the footage and shaping it into a story people want to stick with.

I’m comfortable when the footage is messy, the brief keeps changing or the story isn’t obvious at first. I like solving problems, making decisions and keeping things moving when it would be easy for a project to stall.

Over the last decade I’ve worked on documentaries and factual films for Discovery+, Amazon Prime, Channel 4, Fox and Viacom Studios, as well as branded docs for Jamie Oliver, ZOE and VOY.

I’m a member of British Film Editors (BFE) and I’m known for being calm, collaborative and reliable — someone clients trust with both the story and the process.

Based just outside London and available for remote or in-person collaboration.
