James Cooper – Editor 50 Strafford Road, Barnet, Herts, EN5 4LR James Cooper Mobile: 07961 137 117 Email: [email protected] Film Editor Web: www.jamescooper-editor.co.uk www.thetalentmanager.co.uk/talent/20054/james-cooper Film Editor esI am a fast,Cooper creative and enthusiastic editor with over 16 years experience behind me. Having started out as a staff editor at London post production facility Frontier Post, I went freelance in 2001 and have subsequently worked on a wide range of productions. The bulk of my credits are in the field of documentary and factual entertainment, although I've also cut dramas, comedy, promos and commercials. I still enjoy editing as much as ever and pride myself in getting every job done to the very highest standard. I work extremely hard to get to the heart of a story, and I feel that my particular strengths in the cutting room are in structuring narrative, visual creativity and working with music. I am skilled in all versions of Avid specialising in offline editing, although I do have previous experience of online editing and grading. I am also fully conversant with Final Cut Pro, and have my own Final Cut Studio editing kit. In addition to editing factual television, I have written, directed and edited drama shorts, winning several film festival awards. Selected Factual Credits: : Almost Famous?

    07.09 — 10.09 CALVERT 22, E2 7JP SPONSORS / WELCOME / Emerging in 2006 as a passion project amongst creative enthusiasts to commemorate ‘Small Films for Small Screens’ and flour- ishing into an anticipated annual celebration of shorts, we are proudly back for our thirteenth year. As the brainchild of The Smalls company, an international community of 17,000+ filmmakers, our show-stopping film festival admires all matter of diverse and innovative creative mediums across the globe. After the triumph of last year’s “Dimensions of Diversity” theme – high- lighting the essential need for diversity in our collective future – we turn our attention in 2018 to the necessary fight for gender equality. In light of recent times, industry discussion is fixated on the importance of equal rights and here at The Smalls, we are no different. With an equal workforce of men and women, we are utilising our platform to ad- dress pressing matters regarding women’s roles: how can we guarantee women’s voices are being heard, both on our screens and in the film community? The fight begins with honouring their work. “Fighting for 50/50 in Film” introduces a brand new category dedicated to this sole purpose, as we’re intent on creating equal reign in the creative industry. Nurturing and acknowledging those who may previously have been ignored is where the journey begins. With a celebratory screening for each creative contribution followed by a lively Q&A discussion that will be taking place at the Barbican, our event will provide opportunity to discover the creativity and drive behind each visual essay.
