ABOUT ME
Working in the industry for twenty years I have spent most of my career as an editor. I specialise in documentaries, drama/docs & a bit of drama.
I am a member of American Cinema Editors (ACE) and in 2023 was nominated for an ACE 'Eddie' award for my S4 finale episode of ‘Formula One: Drive to Survive’. In 2021 I edited the live-action short ‘Mousie’ which won the New York Short Film Festival, 25 other international awards and was a qualifying entry for the 2022 Academy Awards.
I pride myself on strong storytelling. Crafting an edit with clarity, precision and emotion. In addition, I take a meticulous approach to music and pacing.
More recently I have stepped back from editing to pursue new challenges within the industry, mainly edit producing. However, I can certainly be tempted back into the editors chair should a suitable project arise.
Please see my testimonial section for reviews of my work. Further references and my CV can be forwarded at short notice.
TESTIMONIALS
"Duncan has a superb editorial brain and is great at collaborating to produce fine content again and again. Will always hire him… if he’s available!”
SAM WILKINSON / DIRECTOR / REGGIE YATES DOCUMENTARIES
"I’ve worked with Duncan for over 10 years on Gold Rush and other shows, and he’s over-delivered every time. Apart from being fast on the Avid he’s got a great sense of storytelling and really cares about creating the best possible show. I’d hire him as an Editor, or Edit Producer anytime."
