Joel Corby

Editor

PROFILE

With over 25 years’ experience in the TV and film industry, Joel has worked as both an offline and online editor, as well as colourist, across a wide range of projects. Much of his work has been in factual, documentary and entertainment programming, where his strong storytelling instincts and passion for combining music and striking imagery really come through.

Joel has a keen eye for detail and a natural talent for creating moments of emotion, humour or drama — whatever the story needs. He is also passionate about keeping up with new technologies, from cameras to post techniques and brings that curiosity and drive into everything he works on.

Friendly, collaborative and highly dependable, he is a valued member of any post-production team, known for his creativity, professionalism and commitment to delivering exceptional work.

Having been a freelancer since 2001 we are so pleased that Joel chose TOVS as the agency to help look after his career & we are very proud to have him on the books!
