I am an award-winning versatile editor with a solid, extensive, and proven track record in the industry with proper set-up facilities and tools to edit your programmes remotely.

In 2022 I finished remotely editing episode 9, "Yang Liu", of 10-part 1-hour True Crime documentary series, "Truth About My Murder", made by Yeti Television for CBS, which has been shortlisted for the True Crime Awards' best new series category, and an episode of a new series, "The Travelling Auctioneers", made by STV for BBC 1. In September I was back at ITN Productions again to cut remotely one episode of "The Bargain Brits", a 10x60 minutes factual entertainment series for C5. I've recently finished remotely editing "Coastal Defenders", (8 X 30 mins) Documentary series which was made by Renowned Films for BBC where we follow one of the top Marine Commercial Diving companies in the UK.

Though my base is in London, I cut anywhere that a good project takes me. I have already edited many films all over UK, Europe, America, China and South Asia. I also have worked for major international broadcasters such as Nat Geo, Fox, CBS, Discovery, and CNBC.

"In a broadcasting age with such fast-changing technology, it is absolutely essential to have on board any production individuals who not only know their craft from a creative perspective, but also have the technical ability to adapt the new systems and technology to suit the production. Rashid is one such individual and I am pleased to be in a position to recommend him highly."

André Singer, CEO & Creative Director, West Park Pictures Ltd, July 2007.



"We brought Rashid onboard when we were faced with a very fast recovery edit for a really difficult film. The producer and previous editor had been removed, so there was no granular handover. Rashid was a real pro. He took his time to properly understand the story, ambition and materials and then moved quickly to resolve the structural issues and also find unifying approaches to graphics and archive. At times he was working in tandem with another editor, and was unphased and got his work and elements done on time. A genuinely nice and talented bloke, and strong editor."

Patrick Younge, Co-Founder & co-Managing Director at Cardiff Productions Ltd., March 2022.
