He has an MA from The National Film and Television School, where he received the Avid award for his editing. He also has a BA in Philosophy and spent a number of years learning the ropes as an assistant editor.

Jamie has been fascinated with the medium and craft of cinema from an early age when he used to wear out VHS tapes studying his favourite films. As an editor he has a keen interest in finding the unique qualities a set of rushes has to offer, which can inspire something original in the edit. He believes the best creative decisions are made when they are rooted in the rushes and born out of the storytelling.
