About me
I have been working in film post production for over 20 years and the last nine of those in the world-renowned Pinewood Studios.I am an experienced digital film restorer working with all film formats including nitrate. As a restoration manager, I’ve worked on a multitude of projects ranging from dailies scanning to full scale restorations. Over the course of my career, I have successfully helped tender for the BFI, Arrow and other companies. As part of this role I have needed to be a capable project manager.

Available on request.
Additional information:
Client management was a big part of my role as expectations were always high. Recent clients included the National Film and Television School and scanning all the students’ 16mm final film projects; I also assisted with their DCP screening. I have worked extensively with the BFI and their Unlocking Film Heritage project - including scanning, grading, synching and ensuring client sign off. And most recently my largest project was working on the latest (yet to be released) Star Wars - consulting on film defects.
