About me

Owen Ruthven is an Editor and an accomplished Digital Artist. He is based in Romsey, Hampshire and ever since growing up, he loves watching films and television and he always wanted to get involved behind the scenes as he found it engrossing. He passed his BA (Hons) Filmmaking course with 2:1 at Kingston University in Spring 2020, and worked on 8+ short films during his three years - he has been a Director, a Writer, a Sound Designer, and a Set Designer but at the end of his first year, he discovered his passion in editing and became fascinated by how editing enables Editors to shape and cut a film as if it was like solving a puzzle. He has been the Editor on several films since then. In Autumn 2021, he signed up to become a Member of the National Youth Film Academy and immediately signed up for Set-Ready 2021, which is a course to help enable filmmakers and actors to make short films on their own in Summer 2021. He was the Editor of “The Immunda Experiment”; the film has been premiered in an Odeon cinema in London and recently won a Best Editor award for "The Immunda Experiment" at the National Youth Film Academy Awards 2021. I have a hearing disability (profoundly deaf). I wear two hearing aids and I can hear speech when wearing these. I am also great at lip-reading! To overcome this in the workplace, I may need a little extra time with any training that is involved. So far, I have not encountered any problems with work. I consider myself to be polite, friendly and conscientious with a great eye for attention and detail. I am very personable, and I consider myself to have a great sense of humour and I have a very inquisitive mind. I am a very creative person and I believe I would be an asset to any organisation.

Additional information:
Since a very young age I have been interested in the TV/film industry and its production.  Since losing my father when I was aged 12, I found myself escaping into the realm of TV and Film, particularly with Doctor Who. This was to become my biggest passion and I will always have an ambition to work on one of the Doctor Who episodes. I have a Doctor Who Instagram blog for my designs and editing of Doctor Who posters/trailers, and writing reviews (https://www.instagram.com/anadventureinspaceandtime/). I enjoy creativity, designing posters and working with editing programs (Premiere Pro, After Effects) and Photoshop. Reading is one of my main interests. I can easily have 4 books on the go at any one time!
