My father, the night owl, could tell his 5 year old son was too hopped up on Christmas sweets to even attempt to put me to bed. So with my mother asleep he turned to me and asked “Do you wanna stay up and watch Rocky 3 with me?” Anything but bed I thought, not knowing who or what a “Rocky” was. From the moment he hit play my life was forever changed. I had seen movies before but not like this. This wasn’t Disney. This was something else entirely. This was Sly Stallone. This was Mr. T. This was Eye of the Tiger.

That movie and its simple story changed my life. I began devouring everything I could watch, and other things I shouldn’t have at my age, anything that told a good story. I was hooked.

I’m not sure why many years later my parents were so shocked that their son wasn’t going to law or med school. In the first year of film school I fell in love with editing and spent an unhealthy amount of time in the basement editing suites. I quickly realized that in my future there would be many days spent in the dark.

In the 20 years that I’ve been lucky enough to work in this business the industry has changed a lot but the one thing that hasn’t is my love for those first couple days where I get to be alone with the footage and look at the story with fresh eyes. To build the scripted but also to explore everything else. And then to share and hone those ideas with a creative team; discussing how best to tell the stories we have to tell.

With maybe a close second favourite being able to sing “Eye of the Tiger” in a dark Karaoke bar.

I grew up up in London, England, home of one of the most diverse and interesting music and art scenes in the world. It was fundamental in making me who I am. Three years spent at art school were also a revelation and made it clear where my career path would go. For my parents it was a point of concern;  dad still struggles to understand what I do.

I’m fascinated by visual arts of any kind and many things have inspired me to pursue a career in editing: the films of Kubrick, Coppola, and Ridley Scott; early video installations by Bill Viola or Steve McQueen; and even making showreels for Michel Gondry on an analogue Sony edit station.  Seeing their work was so stimulating and thought provoking. It gave me a hunger for visual story telling. 

I’m also thrilled at the advances I’ve witnessed in editing technology. The process of editing has become so much more fluid and less about the apparatus. We now have a lot more freedom to experiment and play. It’s very gratifying when everything clicks and the images flow. Seeing that grin on the director and clients' faces is the ultimate compliment.

I love the vibe ‘Torono’ has and I feel there’s still so much to discover.

My name is Tamara, although everyone calls me Thelma because of my love for Thelma Schoonmaker, the editor of the Martin Scorsese films.

I have been editing for twelve years and during this time I have made national and international advertising campaigns, documentaries, music videos, trailers, fashion, branded content...and I have had the opportunity to meet directors and creatives with whom I have worked hand-in-hand to create the best campaigns.

I love working in the dark, rhythmic montages where the images dance to the music, exploring the possibilities of sound, seeing my selections looped, and having good food around while I edit.

I currently reside in Palma de Mallorca because I always dreamed of having an editing room overlooking the sea.

Traveller, explorer, artist and obsessive learner are probably the best ways to describe me. I have a keen eye for all things detail, but despite my BA in Graphic Design, it is truly my love of travel and desire to shoot all the places I explore that has naturally led me to get in deep with the world of filmmaking. I see my job as putting the heartbeat into motion pictures and mixing video editing with graphics allows me to discover exciting new ways to do that.

A storyteller at heart I’ve taken those sensibilities to the world of advertising to create dynamic, engaging and modern looking work. I edit TV ads, social media campaigns and most recently created my very own app “Mache” for my travel start up Pangaea.

Currently based in London but available from any part of the world.

Well, people say that I’m one of the top colourists in the world. I suppose I can say that I’ve learned a great deal over many years of working with some of the best post production companies, film directors and DOP’s in the business.

I started in London working in a Film Laboratory, that’s right film, and learned my craft from the ground up to the digital world we are in today. I’ve worked for the world-renowned Moving Picture Company in London as well as Command Post/Toybox in Toronto. I was also a founding partner and senior colourist at storied Toronto colourist boutique, Notch.

I can proudly say that I’ve received many awards for my colouring work including a Genie award for Jean Marc Vallee’s “Café De Flore”,and from the International Monitor Awards and Bessies, and I’ve coloured more award winning ads than I can comfortably count.

And after all of that, I still joyfully bring a hundred percent of my personality, individual style and unparalleled expertise to every project I work on. I look forward to working with you.
