Men from underrepresented groups, working in POST PRODUCTION SOUND (UK only), any genre, any stage of their career... Read on, Emma would like to hear from you.
Please Read. I’m working on a follow up to my report with the Lenny Henry Centre For Media Diversity on diversity in post production sound and looking to interview people, especially men, from underrepresented groups at any stage of their career working in UK ONLY post production sound across any genre.
Roles such as Re-Recording/ Dubbing mixer, Sound Effects Editors, Dialogue editors etc. This aspect of the research is to explore the barriers people from diverse backgrounds experience within the UK TV industry. A principle of anonymity will be applied. Your identity will not be revealed. Please consider taking part to help shape our sector. email me at [email protected]
My previous report can be found here to understand how the interviews will be used. Please share

This should take you to the start of the list I was compiling back then... although obvs there are women on there too, and a mix of genres.
So to save you going through all the comments, here's the list of black/POC editors (in the UK) I've received so far. I'm not an agent, just someone tired of hearing we don't exist/are hard to find:
@EmmaButtSound Mdhamiri à Nkemi
Oral Ottey
Chris Chow
Reece Grant
Wait, I did a post about poc editors in 2020, let me find the link and share with you.
Do y’all know how easy it is to put your friends on? Very. You can start simply by mentioning their names in places that would benefit them. Your impact is a ripple effect. There’s plenty of room for us all to thrive. Someone else’s success doesn’t cast a shadow on yours. 📌
Pay your freelancers on time. That’s it, that’s the tweet. Not on day 30, not on day 35. Within the 30 day period and promptly as possible.With the industry in such a state,the least companies can do is not add stress by delaying payment. Far too many stories about this happening

@wheatlby Yes, I had a couple of those. With a few paragraphs about how well they thought they'd responded during other wars, but not this one. Then out of the blue, I got a letter saying they now plan to do the right thing. (Not in those words, obvs!)
Due to some not particularly unforeseen circumstances, I now have availability for the right project from early Jan. Please get in touch if you'd like to work with me next year.
@carolvorders We need rid of this lying, griftying government sooner rather than later, they're doing untold damage to communities, infra structure, economy.
