Episode Description from the Publisher

In the final episode of season one of The Doc Makers podcast I’m talking to documentary editor Luke Flight.Luke is a close friend and co-conspirator on many a project, so this episode was originally done as favour to me and as a test run for the podcast, but I think there was too many lovely thoughts from him contained within our chat to keep to myself and he’s very graciously let me me share our conversation with you all. Luke is a BAFTA nominated editor for his work on Unforgotten: The Bradford City Fire, has been part of the Drive to Survive phenomenon with Box to Box and Netflix, and also cut projects for Amazon, Sky, ITV and Channel 4.We talk about him getting into a film and tv course because he thought it’d be easy, maybe not getting certain jobs because he doesn’t sound the right way (something I think will resonate with a few people out there) and receiving some eye-opening advice from a seasoned editor whilst first starting out, and a little warning as there might be an F-bomb somewhere in here too for all you sensitive souls!Show notes:When we were kingshttps://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118147/?ref_=ext_shr_lnkOne day in September https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0230591/?ref_=ext_shr_lnkInside Jobhttps://www.imdb.com/title/tt10231312/?ref_=ext_shr_lnkTreasures of the British Libraryhttps://www.imdb.com/title/tt10231312/?ref_=ext_shr_lnkJames Buchananhttps://www.imdb.com/name/nm3473327/?ref_=ext_shr_lnkSecrets of the brainhttps://www.imdb.com/title/tt7610486/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk
