The great variety of work commercials editors showed to showcase their expertise, from award winning commercials, to new projects, music videos and even a vampire film, entertained the audience and reminded us of the contribution editors make to the process of great film making and the abundance of editing talent we have here in London.

John Smith, from The Whitehouse, who introduced the event explained: "The purpose of the night is to help raise awareness and the profile of what we do here in London, and to show off a selection of the work we've all done over the past year or so, even if it is only to each other. This showcase isn't a competition, there are no prizes to be given out, we just sit and watch,our own work,our peers work, and celebrate what is an amazing craft ,which when used properly, can make people laugh and cry, educate and inform,...or just sell sausages."
