Steven Hay
An award winning broadcast editor with over 20 years experience in TV and Video, working in multiple genres. A caring crafts-person, great storyteller, and fast cutter who always gets the best out of the material. An all rounder who's a strong asset to any team... and fun too!

"Steve is a fast and calm editor who likes to crack on. Very good at forcing decisions from the precious or wavering director and getting the job done. With years of experience inside and outside of the edit suite he is to be trusted to work alone as his own edit producer. Always look forward to working with Steve."
James Harrison, Freelance Director/Producer
"Steve was a delight to work with. He is meticulous in his work, makes the best of the rushes to create a beautifully crafted final product, is great with music and can work to incredibly tight deadlines. All the while being a funny and kind colleague. would love to work with Steve again!!"
Melanie Hill, Freeelance Producer
"Hire him. Hire him. Hire him. Calm and collected under pressure. Always has an creative answer or alternative for the cut. When you have to spend so much time with someone you can recite their coffee order, lunch order and children's names quicker than your own, it's good to spend that time with someone clever, funny and hard working. A true gent and a brilliant editor!"
Dominic Callaghan, Freelance Producer
"I have worked with Steve Hay recently in Manchester, having also worked with his some years ago. He is a creative, organised editor willing to go the extra distance to make a project come together and shine. The fact that he also shoots well and has a great understanding of the production process is a bonus. He is also entertaining to work along side and happy to work solo or as part of a team"
Virginia Hill, Freelance Series Producer
"I had the pleasure of working with Steve for three months on a true crime series for ITN Productions. Steve has many years of experience - and it shows. Working on a very tight ship with tight deadlines, Steve was the safest pair of hands. He can be relied upon to turn around the impossible on time, every time: he's super-organised and a real self starter, creating effortlessly beautiful cuts, perfectly paced. He's full of ideas, and editing with him is a genuine collaboration, but equally, hand him a script and a brief - and he'll come up with the goods. Steve is so easy to get on with, and completely unflappable. He really is one of the good guys, and I'd be very happy to work with him again."
Lucy Hester, Freelance Producer
"Steve is a fantastic first-class editor whom I have worked with as my first choice editor for the past eight years. He is an excellent storyteller, a caring craftsperson and a fast cutter who always gets the best out of the material. He is known for unfailingly meeting deadlines with grace and good humour and is a delight to work with"
Neil Smith, Ex Managing Director, Betty & Boundless Productions
