BIOGRAPHY
ANDREW EVANS
I've been an editor for around 20 years, though started as an assistant on film aged 13. I spent several years working for ITN, then for ITV and the BBC. Programmes & series I have edited have won two RTS awards, two Foreign Press Awards & BANFF as well as been nominated for 2 Prix Europas, a Canadian Screen award & a BAFTA. In the last few years I've mainly working for National Geographic and Discovery helping to make some of the most watched documentaries on the planet.
I love the variety of the job, but am mostly interested in science, history, reality and current affairs documentaries and series, though I have been known to do everything from sport to factual entertainment to corporates.
I have a full remote setup.
