about
I’m Jake, an award-winning filmmaker based in Devon, England.
As an editor, my work spans branded video for renowned brands such as Under Armour and Mercedes Benz, to indie film and documentary, including BBC’s Tomorrow’s World, Disney’s Access All Areas and ITV’s Emergency Medics.
Throughout my career, I’ve shot and directed a host of projects from live sports to music video, corporate and short film, involving the likes of WWE Superstars to Fred Sirieix and American punk-rock band Zebrahead.
My passion for drama led me to partner with Prince Ea, where I created a series of online shorts that generated 1 billion views in 12 months and caught the attention of global media. This creative collaboration paved the way to winning Most Innovative Production Company in 2021 and 2022.
As an instinctive, natural born creator, I thrive on the challenge of each unique project and revel in the art of visual storytelling.
production
Experienced in multiple aspects of production, I’m able to approach projects from diverse angles and mindsets, enabling me to navigate creative challenges
Having worked solo and built production crews, self-funded projects include award-nominated documentary Panthers, and debut drama Bad Beat, which won Best Crime Film at Discover Film Awards and Best Director at Absurd Film Festival.
Nominations among other festivals include Best Screenplay, Best Editor, Best Trailer and Best Film.
post-production
While my expertise in using Premiere Pro and Final Cut dates back to 2003, I believe that at the core of editing lies the art of storytelling. With a keen eye for detail and a unique ability to use emotion to captivate the audience, I take pride in my exceptional speed and proficiency in this craft.
Despite having traveled the world as a contracted editor, I have predominantly worked remotely since launching my freelance career in 2014. Over the years, I have worked on thousands of edits for some of the world’s most prominent brands, including Sony Pictures, Ubisoft, Walkers, and Netflix.
