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. I’ve successfully edited numerous programmes in the last four years remotely. Notable programmes among them are "The Murder of Lord Mountbatten: 3 Days that Shook Britain", an 80-minute C5 Royal documentary made by ITN Productions, which was broadcast on 18 September 2021; Robert Moore's documentary, "Veterans’ Health", for ITV's "On Assignment" series and it was broadcast on 28 September 2021; "Moments That Shaped Queer Black Britain", 45-minutes documentary made by Cardiff Productions for BET which premiered on My5 in June 2022 and now going global; Eddie Izzard episode, TX 26.10.23, of a 4-part 60 minutes documentary series, “Little Trains & Big Names with Pete Waterman”, made by Workerbee for C4.

In 2022, I edited episode 9, “Yang Liu”, of the 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 one episode of "The Bargain Brits”, a 10x60-minute factual entertainment series for C5. I’ve recently finished editing the "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. I edited episode 4, "Sun and Storms", which was broadcast on 6th March 2023. The latest edited broadcast programme of mine is “Rich Kids Go Skint”, edited episode one, "Ellie", a 10x60-minute factual entertainment series, for C5, TX 09.01.24.

I have edited a wide range of programmes, from drama to docudrama to documentaries of all sorts and current affairs. My job is to tell a good story, whatever its subject and type of programme I work on. My full CV and Reference Letters confirm this skill of mine. Though my base is in London, I cut anywhere that a good project takes me. I have already edited many films all over the UK, Europe, America, China and South East Asia. I also have worked for major international broadcasters such as Nat Geo, Fox, CBS, Discovery, and CNBC. I have my own Avid, Final Cut Pro and Premiere Pro edit suites, capable of doing 4-8K and handling big series with its 24-Tb 8-Bay raid storage and 1GB internet connection. I have a proper set-up, and in the last four years, I successfully cut many programmes from my edit suite remotely. Other samples of my work can be viewed on my other website:

"In a broadcasting age with such fast-changing technology, it is 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 archives. 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.
