From a young age James was profoundly drawn to storytelling. As a child he would parse Saturday morning cartoons and pick apart how one scene motivated the next. He began editing in 2000 just to learn the discipline, but it soon became an abiding passion. James loves editing just about anything: Over the past two decades he’s cut unscripted, documentaries, music videos, scripted content, sizzles, and commercials. His main mission as an editor is to create as much authenticity as possible — to take his cues from the rhythms and movements of real life.

Sizzles have become a speciality: In his career James has cut 200 or more. He’s also known for parachuting into series where post-production is troubled and turning it around. Editing has become his lifeblood and he does it with passion and a meticulous story sense.

Some of the titles he has worked on listed below.
