Ferg McGrath, Editor, and founder of The Cutting Room Editing and its consultancy arm, The Cutting Room Consulting, has passed away.
Ferg McGrath BFE, born 1969, grew up in Ireland and made his home in London in the early 90s. He worked as an editor for nearly three decades cutting award-winning films for all the main networks and streamers. His credits range from The Girl Who Talked to Dolphins for the BBC to Dian Fossey: Secrets In The Mist for Nat Geo, to Captive and Drive to Survive for Netflix. Wins and nominations for his work include BAFTA, Emmy, RTS and Grierson Awards.
As well as founding The Cutting Room, he was co-vice chair of British Film Editors. He actively drove BFE’s re-branding (from GBFTE) to become a more outward-looking and diverse organisation which grew from under 100 to over 700 members.
The picture shows Ferg at a Televisual Roundtable event at The Soho Hotel last November.
