Additional Information
As well as drama Xavier has also edited commercials, music videos and documentaries. Music videos include Elton John's “Nikita” and Andrew Lloyd Webber's “Phantom of The Opera”.
Testimonies
“Working with Xavier is always a delightfully rewarding and productive experience. On the creative front he is talented, inventive, and imaginative. On the professional front he is industrious, conscientious and highly personable. These virtues justly go into making him a highly sought after film editor. In short, he is highly recommended.” Jon East, Director Killing Eve
“Xavier Russell is one of the finest editors I have worked with in my 40 odd years as a Director - flexible but decisive, instinctive but extremely skilful. He cut two episodes of Series 2 of Grantchester’ for me and there is no higher praise a Director can give – he made me look good. He’s a thoughtful listener and he never imposes his point of view; “Let’s try it” is his watchword – and he does, quickly and positively. He’s bracingly objective, good company and very tactful with execs. What more does one need?” Ed Bennett, Director
“I have recently had the pleasure of working with Xavier Russell on a double episode of ‘Doctor Who’. Xavier’s instincts during the assembly were spot on meaning we had a very effective and streamlined fine cut period. Xavier worked hard and diligently to meet all our screening deadlines, and each of these screenings was met with enthusiasm and approval by the producers and execs. Overall a very smooth and positive experience. As well as being a talented and experienced editor, Xavier was a pleasure to spend time within the edit room and I would happily work with him again in the future.” Daniel Nettheim, Director
“Xavier Russell has cut four drama films which I have directed over the last twelve years: ‘The Suspicions of Mr Whicher’ for Hat Trick/ITV, ‘Killing Jesus’ for Ridley Scott Associates/National Geographic, ‘Secret Smile’ for ITV, ‘Zen’ for Left Bank/BBC1. He is a very experienced and accomplished editor and great fun to work with.” Chris Menaul, Director “I had the pleasure of working with Xavier as an editor on 'Dickensian' for BBC1.

It was 4x30' episodes involving vital emotional character arcs and action set pieces. Xavier proved more than the correct choice for the job. It was very clear to me that Xavier understood exactly what we were trying to achieve with the series and the complex stories to tell. He embraced the technical challenges, the VFX and music spotting with great enthusiasm and commitment. He's fast on the machines and has a great sense of humour! I would thoroughly recommend working with him.” Philippa Langdale, Director
“I have worked with Xavier on several occasions. I would have worked with him more, but he is always busy! His approach to editing involved knowing when not to cut as much as when to cut. In short, he has taste. He is a great collaborator, very experienced, always interested in the nuance of performance and able to discover/ create a “style” in the way the cut evolved. If there is humour to be had, he’ll find it. Xavier’s also lightning fast on the Avid.” Kenny Glenaan, Director
