ABOUT MICK AUDSLEY




Mick Audsley is one of the leading feature film editors in activity. His career includes over 50 titles across film and television, as well as collaborations with directors such as Stephen Frears, Terry Gilliam, Mike Newell and Neil Jordan and working on films such as "Interview with the Vampire" "12 Monkeys" "High FIdelity" "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" or more recently "Everest".

After completing his postgraduate at the Royal College of Art film school, Mick Audsley began his film editing career at the British Film Institute Production Board, where he worked with writer director Bill Douglas cutting the final film of Douglas’ autobiographical trilogy My Way Home.

What was to become an extensive collaboration with Stephen Frears began with Walter (1982, a TV movie starring Ian McKellen). His work with Frears continued since, and has brought Audsley a nomination for the BAFTA Award for Best Editing for Dangerous Liaisons (1988), as well as a BAFTA TV Award (Best Film or Video Editor Fiction/Entertainment) for The Snapper (in 1993).

Audsley has had a comparably extended collaboration with director Mike Newell, including Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005).

His collaboration with Terry Gilliam include editing Twelve Monkeys (starring Bruce Willis and based on Chris Marker’s La Jeteé) and, more recently, the critically acclaimed The Zero Theorem (in 2013).

Mick Audsley also edited Interview with the Vampire: The Vampire Chronicles (directed by Neil Jordan, 1994), High Fidelity (directed by Stephen Frears, 2000) and, most recently, Everest, working with Icelandic director Baltasar Kormákur.

Mick’s work also include supervising editing and editing consulting for features, as well as shorts and TV series.

Mick is right now one of the most accomplished and sought of editors in activity, and will surely deliver a wonderful workshop based on his extensive knowledge of the subject.
