Thrilled to announce another big hitter from the world of advertising film production to the Kinsale 2026 Jury, David Webb, managing director at Final Cut

David is also an award- winning editor. In his role, David oversees global operations, strategic partnerships, and creative development across offices in London, New York, and Los Angeles. His leadership has been instrumental in positioning Final Cut as one of the most respected post-production companies in the industry.

David began his career editing commercials, collaborating with some of the industry’s most celebrated directors, including Edgar Wright, Vaughan Arnell and Anthea Benton, Traktor, Malcolm Venville, Walter Stern and Philippe André, before transitioning into longform work at the request of director Jim Field Smith. The pair have since developed a close creative partnership, collaborating on several acclaimed series including The Wrong Mans (BBC/Hulu), Criminal (Netflix), Defending the Guilty (BBC), Truth Seekers (Amazon), and Litvinenko (ITV Studios), starring David Tennant. Many of these projects have received major recognition, including BAFTA, EMMY and RTS nominations.

Under his leadership, Final Cut continues to set the standard for editorial storytelling across formats and genres.

Immensely proud to be Lead Editor on Hijack – Season 2.

Huge shout-out to Jim Field Smith and the entire post team.
Thousands upon thousands of hours of film craft went into building this detailed new world for Sam Nelson to inhabit — with editing, VFX, and sound departments all operating at full tilt.

So detailed, in fact, that a trainspotter from Heidelberg felt compelled to comment:

“That’s not what the BVG F92 door opener sounds like!”

Dammit!

Hope you’re along for the ride — regardless. 🚆🔥

We are hyped for the tense new trailer for Hijack Season 2.
Don't miss the journey: Hijack Season 2 begins streaming January 14 on @appletv.

Running Man cast & crew screening.
2025 — my worlds collide.
I was lucky enough to cut some ads & additional material that feature in Edgar Wright’s barnstormer of a film The Running Man.
Saw it again today with the kids, who gave it a straight 10 — even the bits I didn’t do!
Catch it on the biggest screen possible. 🔥🎬
