Mike Bolsover

I cut a broad range of high-profile shows for UK and Worldwide broadcasters, working to tight deadlines on long series, I can be relied upon to work independently, but also in close collaboration with producers and directors in the stylisation of new programmes and refreshing returning shows.

Note I am currently only available for Remote Working contracts.

I have my own kit and a very reliable internet connection with proven quality. In the last 4 years I have remoted into Manchester, London, Leeds and Brighton, and cut on my own kit with supplied rushes.

As an experience editor I can be reliably expected to work productively and creatively on my own, while maintaining close collaboration with directors and producers wherever they may be based.
