Description
Cheryl has recently finished cutting four episodes of Amazon’s sweeping and epic series The Lord Of The Rings: The Rings of Power, which explores events of the second age, set thousands of years before J.R.R. Tolkien’s much beloved The Lord Of The Rings. Prior to this Cheryl cut HBO’s flagship series The Nevers starring Laura Donnelly and Nick Frost, TNT’s The Alienist: The Angel of Darkness and TNT’s dystopian drama series Snowpiercer, helmed by showrunner Graeme Manson (Orphan Black) and starring Jennifer Connelly and Daveed Diggs. She edited the penultimate and season finale episodes of Amazon Original series Hanna, directed by Anders Engström which reunited The Killing co-stars Joel Kinnaman and Mireille Enos. Previously Cheryl was working in a dark room far, far away as Additional Editor on Ron Howard’s Solo: A Star Wars Story, and Ridley Scott’s The Martian and Alien: Covenant, working with Oscar winning editor Pietro Scalia. With over 20 years of industry experience she has worked in the editorial teams for many major film directors including Tim Burton, Ridley Scott, Ron Howard, Baz Lurhmann, Michael Apted, Joe Wright and James Mangold. She’s worked alongside high profile editors such as Pietro Scalia, Dody Dorn, Jill Bilcock, Michael McCusker, Rick Shaine, Chris Lebenzon, Christopher Rouse and Billy Rich.
