Neil Merriman

Hello! I’m Neil. Throughout college, I’ve had the opportunity to work on drama, documentary and podcasting. While I’ve enjoyed the production of different media forms, I noticed that editing stuck out to me as something I loved across every form. I love how all of the moving parts come together in the edit, and key decisions are made on how a project will look, sound or feel. I can thankfully say I moved around on sets, working on camera, sound and even directing a short film during my Erasmus semester in Germany. For my final year, I decided to focus on documentary and had the pleasure of working on projects where ideas were always heard and the stories were thought-provoking. I worked on all four documentaries this year, between sound editing and camera!
