CARNAGE

 

CARNAGE – BBC ARTS / IPLAYER – DIRECTOR: SIMON AMSTELL

★★★★ INDEPENDENT “AMSTELL HAS MADE THE WORLD'S FIRST VEGAN COMEDY THAT'S ACTUALLY FUNNY”


1 x 70 Set in a utopian 2067, Carnage looks back at a time when human beings ate other animals. For the young people of this time, the idea that their grandparents could have been complicit in a bloodbath of unnecessary suffering is wholly unimaginable. The film aims to break the taboo around Britain’s animal eating past, whilst showing compassion for a generation now seeking therapy to cope with the horror of their unthinkable actions. Carnage combines archive with original drama and is narrated by Simon Amstell, who gives a unique comedic peek into a future where animals live equally amongst humans.

I have always loved to cut and will always love to cut… so much so that I have dedicated over 30 years to honing the craft of editing.

During this time I have won an Emmy award, a Grierson British documentary award, an RTS award, a Broadcast award and recently a Critics Choice award.

I have also cut 2 x BAFTAs nominated  documentaries, an RTS nominated documentary series and 8 Grierson nominated films across 5 different categories.

I edit imaginative, forward thinking films to critical acclaim and have been acknowledged for my work with channels such as Netflix, Apple TV, Disney+, Sky Documentaries, BBC, Channel 4 and ITV.

To take something that pre exists, carefully carve it up, reshape it and create something totally new and unique, sends my imagination into overdrive…

“Once you unleash a film out of it’s trap, it should have an unstoppable gravitational force to it.”
