Works

A short film directed by Ridley Scott for Turkish Airlines. Premiered on Super Bowl Sunday.

The latest in the Star Wars saga, Han Solo’s origin story is told with plenty of action and humour at the hands of veteran director Ron Howard. “Solo: A Star Wars Story” is released in cinemas today. Cheryl had the pleasure of working as an additional editor on the exciting project alongside editors Pietro Scalia and Christopher Rouse.

The Loneliest Time screened at the St Albans Film Festival over the weekend. After the screening Cheryl joined Producer and Actor Dan Poole in leading a masterclass with the audience. Many great questions about filmmaking, editing and the industry were asked and answered inside the beautiful Odyssey cinema.

Cheryl has recently finished work on Dresden Pictures film Biopunk. This concept film explores a dystopian future, and is just a taste of the larger feature film the makers have planned. Director Liam Garvo and producer James Heath were both wonderful to work with. It’s so great to see filmmakers with such ambitious and creative ideas.

Alien: Covenant is Cheryl’s third feature working with Ridley Scott, and her second working as an additional editor to the very talented Pietro Scalia. Alien: Covenant is out in cinemas worldwide on May 19. The film picks up 10 years after Prometheus and should satisfy longstanding fans of the franchise with plenty of thrills.

In the lead up to the films release Fox put out The Crossing – a prologue that shows what happens between the end of Prometheus and the beginning of Covenant.

The trailer for Alien: Covenant is below.

Cheryl recently completed the edit on “Leni. Leni.” This short film, directed by Adrian Vitoria, written by Alistair Audsley and produced by Rosie Fellner recently screened at the Short Film corner at the Cannes Film Festival 2016. The film explores the troubled world of Leni Riefenstahl – one of the most controversial and inventive filmmakers of her time.

While still finishing up on The Martian in her so-called “spare time” Cheryl began the task of editing a short film about conflict, The Loneliest Time. This timely and topical short was directed by Cort Kristensen while Dan Poole wrote, produced and starred.

The Loneliest Time is currently at sound mix stage, being mixed (in Dolby Atmos) by the fantastic Paul Massey with sound editing work by James Boyle.
