My biggest strength is that I am a story teller. Working either as an Editor or Director, shaping pictures and sound into the most effective way to tell your story.

I have over twenty years experience as a broadcast editor. My career started 1985 with TVNZ at the Avalon television studios in Wellington where I trained as a film editor cutting 16mm film on a Steenbeck। I worked on programs such as Country Calendar, Radio with Pictures and Fair Go.

In 1991 I left TVNZ to become a freelance post production editor based in Auckland. Avid Media Composer had just been released onto the market and I was an early adopter of nonlinear editing. I have worked on a diverse range of formats from broadcast news through to corporate, lifestyle, magazine, light entertainment, reality and documentary. I have also been lucky to have worked on number of Te Reo productions.

I own my own Avid / Final Cut edit suites which are optimized for HD post production. These edit suites are available for dry hire as well as with an editor. I also provide the services of Post production supervisor / Co ordinator.

Five years ago I made the move into directing with a pitch for a documentary called "Catastrophic Collisions". This then evolved into "The survivor Files," a ten part series, which screened on TV One.I was involved in developing the look of the show and directed X2 of the 10 part series.

"Brett did a great job of directing two episodes of "Survivor Files' ,a series that grew out of an idea that Brett brought to us. Brett also came to us with several other promising concepts for documentaries and documentary series , one of which he had spent a lot of time researching and shooting interviews with prospective talent. The amount of time and energy Brett invested in each of these projects reflects his tremendous passion for the tv industry." Laurie Clarke, Executive Producer, Top Shelf".
