Principle editor for Bear Jam's branded content. Clients included Microsoft, Mastercard, Mr. President and Soho House.

I produced and edited documentaries, news footage and public informations for organisations like Al Jazeera, Channel 4, United Nations and Red Cross. Initially a sound editor, I began picture editing after 3 months which became my primary role. I was involved in recruiting and training crew, helped design the post production suite and developed their post production workflow. Flagship project: producing ten short films broadcast on two national Somalia channels.

Writing daily situation reports on Mogadishu, Somalia and South Sudan. Medical evacuation support for a private security operation on Mogadishu and business development mission in South Sudan. Coordinating R&R for operatives on rotation.

We believe in the power of a story and that a good story deserves telling well. DEADLY Films is about telling stories through films, thoughtfully imagined and beautifully produced.
