ROLE:
EDITOR

Based on a true story and told entirely through the lens of a desktop computer, a group of teenage hackers plot to get rich by stealing the crypto fortune of a tech billionaire, entirely from the safety of their bedrooms.

I was one of the editors that helped to craft the film in pre-vis, work on set with the production crew to help solve and overcome some last minute hurdles, and oversaw the edit during post-production.

With the director Ronan Corrigan making his directorial debut at the same time as co-writing the script with Hope Elliot Kemp, the film went on to be executive produced by Michael Fassbender and nominated for multiple BIFA awards for:

Best Editing
Best Debut Screenwriter
Breakthrough Producer
Breakthrough Performance

My first feature film could not have had a better combination of subject, genre, crew and director.

As a screenlife genre film, the story was told through a complex mixture of animation and live action, as if we were watching the protagonist Kyle’s computer desktop.

Ronan described this film as a love letter to his years growing up on the internet alongside gaming and socialising with friends online, so it was great to work so closely with him and apply my experience of post-production, motion design and computer science to help with some of the tech-based narrative moments. I also oversaw some of the production tools and laptops that the cast and production team would use to capture takes on set.
