“John Lennon: Murder Without A Trial” is the most thoroughly researched examination of John Lennon’s 1980 murder, which shocked and saddened the world. The production was granted extensive Freedom of Information Act requests from the New York City Police Department, the Board of Parole and the District Attorney’s office; and the series includes exclusive interviews with eyewitnesses — speaking for the first time — along with some of Lennon’s closest friends, revealing shocking details of Lennon’s tragic murder. “John Lennon: Murder Without A Trial” also features interviews with Chapman’s defense lawyers, psychiatrists, detectives and prosecutors.

The series is produced for Apple TV+ by the BAFTA and Emmy Award-winning team at 72 Films, directed by Nick Holt (“The Murder Trial,” “Responsible Child”) and Rob Coldstream (“Jade: The Reality Star Who Changed Britain”) with executive producers David Glover (9/11: One Day in America”), Mark Raphael (“Crime and Punishment”) and Coldstream, alongside producers Simon Bunney and Louis Lee Ray.

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.”
