Joseph Tims BFE


Editor

Jo says of himself: ‘as an editor I trust my creative instincts and ability to extract the most emotional response from the story I’m telling’. In a fifteen-year career, he has moved easily between drama, documentary and live music, and enjoys the discipline of episodic television as much as the creativity of feature films. Jo is based in London and available for work worldwide.
