Birds of War
Poster designed by Paul Stapleton / Artwork Dima Nachawi
Working with George and his team on Birds of War felt like an open-minded and friendly collaboration throughout, making the whole post sound process smooth and enjoyable. The team really took the time to listen, understand the vision, and approach every discussion with patience and care. And every time I see the film in cinemas, I remember each conversation we had as I enjoy the beautifully mixed and designed sound and dialogue that took shape through them.

Bobi Wine: The People’s President
“Ever since our first feature doc together, ‘My Scientology Movie’ opened at the Vue cinema in Leicester Square, one of the largest and most forbidding cinemas, I’ve pushed to have George mix my projects. George can takes the challenge of working with difficult field recordings to create a sweeping cinematic sound comparable to the biggest blockbusters. His skills were tested with our film ‘Bobi Wine: The People’s President’ (with location sound mostly recorded on a single clip mic) that played in cinemas around the world, and sounded immense”

THE WALK
THE WALK is the second feature documentary from HONEYLAND co-director, Tamara Kotevska. It’s a film about the innocence of childhood, and the power of imagination, in a time of crisis and follows the cross continental odyssey of Amal, a 3.5 metre high puppet.
“The Walk blended gritty observational documentary with magical dream-like sequences. As such, the sound design was absolutely essential in making it all fit together. We couldn't have been happier with what George and his team achieved - creating a world which blended those two separate styles in a subtle and beautifully nuanced way. George is an absolute joy to work with.”

Getting it Back: The Story of Cymande
Crawshay Films | Ventureland | Very Much So
“When I compiled the list of people I wanted to mix Getting it Back: The Story of Cymande there was only one name on it. I have had the pleasure of working with George on numerous projects over the last 7 years and it has always been an incredibly fun and rewarding experience. George has continued to surprise me with what can be achieved in making documentaries a truly cinematic audio experience, and was the only person I wanted to entrust with the handling of Cymande’s music. I look forward to many more collaborations in the future.”

MAN ON WIRE

“The screening of Man On Wire, the story of Philippe Petit, the high-wire artist who walked a tightrope between the Twin Towers in 1974 was packed out. With perfect sound, on a large screen, Petit’s bizarre obsession with the towers is touchingly reconstructed …”

"I worked with George on my very first feature doc, Man on Wire, and since then on most of the feature docs I’ve been involved in, from Project Nim to My Scientology Movie. In that time he’s carved out a unique, and well earned, place for himself in the UK as the go-to feature doc re-recording mixer. The care, rigour and creativity with which he and his team have approached all these projects is in abundant evidence in the films themselves - and his work has elevated them hugely."

THE WHITE HELMETS
Director: Orlando von Eisendel
The White Helmets received an Academy Award for Best Documentary Short Subject 2017 and is the first Oscar won by a Netflix Original. As daily airstrikes pound civilian targets in Syria, a group of indomitable first responders risk their lives to rescue victims from the rubble.
"George is hands down one of the best in the business. Working with him is a creative joy and I always feel like I am in very safe hands. The White Helmets was a challenging mix due to the combination of multiple recording formats and sound qualities. George pulled everything together to create a beautifully textured soundscape that was cinematic and yet remained true to the realities on the ground in Syria and Turkey."
