about
I’m Jake, an award-winning filmmaker based in Devon, England.
As an editor, my work spans branded video with 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.
During production, 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 was the foundation of a partnership with Prince Ea, where a series of online shorts I created generated 1 billion views in 12 months and caught the attention of global media. This creative expedition paved the way to winning Most Innovative Production Company in 2021 and 2022.
As an instinctive, natural born creator, I’m driven by the art of visual storytelling and I love the adventure each individual project brings.
production
Experienced in multiple aspects of production, I’m able to engage with a project from various angles and mindsets, and 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 experience in Premiere Pro and Final Cut dates back to 2003, the essence of editing is storytelling. I pride myself on speed and a unique eye for detail when it comes to this craft, instinctively using emotion to captivate the audience.
Although I’ve travelled the world as a contracted editor, the majority of my work has been remote since launching my freelance career in 2014.
I have since worked on thousands of edits involving some of the world’s largest brands, such as Sony Pictures, Ubisoft, Walkers and Netflix.
