BIO
An editor with a sharp instinct for storytelling, a love of craft, and a finely tuned sense of the absurd. Raised in the West Country by a tin miner and a ballet dancer, he brings a natural blend of graft and grace to his work, equal parts precision and playfulness.

With over two decades of experience, Joe has cut across an impressive range of formats, from documentaries and short films to commercials, music promos and feature work. At the heart of it all is a deep appreciation for the edit as a problem-solving space, where ideas are shaped, refined and elevated into something that feels just right. He thrives on the process of tinkering, honing and polishing, always pushing for that extra layer of clarity, rhythm or unexpected charm.

Joe is particularly known for his work in comedy, with an instinctive understanding of timing, tone and performance. He has a knack for finding the funny in the everyday, building narratives that feel grounded and relatable before taking a turn into something surprising, bold or joyfully offbeat. For Joe, humour is serious business, a craft that requires precision, bravery and a willingness to fight for the idea all the way through the process.

His approach is collaborative, energetic and quietly tenacious. Whether working on fast-paced commercial edits or more narrative-driven pieces, he brings a clear creative voice and a commitment to keeping the work distinctive, entertaining and alive. Always pushing against the pull of the predictable, Joe sees editing as a “war on boringness”, championing originality, character and a bit of well-placed mischief in everything he does.

At his core, Joe simply loves making films, especially the funny ones.
