I was lucky enough to work with Paul Davies after I left the National Film and Television School. It was a great opportunity for me to cut my first feature film dialogues.

This comedy drama tells the true story of Lola – a statuesque drag queen with a need for stronger heels – and Charlie – a man who has inherited a failing family business – having a fabulous time and saving the business in the process.
As a new sound editor, this was the chance to wrestle out the bumps in the great dialogue delivered by Chiwetel Ejiofor and the rest of the cast. Even the best-recorded synch track needs a tonne of detailed levelling and snipping. Here I learned the ropes of post production film sound and honed my Nuendo skills.
The film was a hit. Kinky Boots has lived on as a long-run Broadway and West End Musical with music and lyrics written by Cyndi Lauper. It’s a great story and was great fun to work on.
