Editor Claire Ferguson has worked with directors from Nick Broomfield on Aileen: Life and Death of a Serial Killer to Adam Wakeling on Up In Smoke (2011).
Claire Ferguson has edited many award-winning documentaries and has worked with directors across very varied backgrounds, from Nick Broomfield’s Aileen: Life and Death of a Serial Killer (best documentary, Tribeca 2003) to first time director Adam Wakeling’s Up In Smoke (2011) and Concert for George, which took home the Grammy for best music documentary in 2005. In 2009 Claire edited The End Of The Line (Rupert Murray) and then Guilty Pleasures (Julie Moggan).
