Hey, I'm Ed - a South West based filmmaker with a passion for telling real stories that connect.
With 10+ years of experience in documentary, I've filmed and edited projects for the BBC, ITV, Channel 5, and theatrical release. Alongside this, I’ve created a wide range of online films for small businesses, events, creatives, & craftspeople - from short website pieces, to service explainers and behind-the-scenes stories - always told with authenticity and care.
I believe the best way to connect with an audience is through emotion – whether that’s humour, awe, excitement, or even a bit of heartbreak. Whether I’m telling the story of a person, a product, or a place, I’m always looking for the emotional thread that will really stick with the viewer.
If there’s one thing I’ve learned from my time working on documentaries, it’s that everyone has a story worth telling. So whether you’re based in the South West or further afield, if you've got something to share and want it told with heart, creativity, and a little cinematic flair - I’d love to chat!

I look forward to hearing your story!
