ABOUT ME

Martin Kayser-Landwehr is based in the United Kingdom and can offer a wealth of experience as a senior film editor. He began working as a film editor in Germany in 1992.

 

During his long career, his love for film editing has never diminished. Working with an abundance of footage and possibilities, Martin creates a final film product which is dramaturgical and sensitively thought through. Viewers are taken away from their daily tasks into the storyline of the sometimes “fictional thriller” of the documentaries (review of The Wrap of The Cranes Call). 

 

Martin is an expert in the editing of all different genres: documentary feature, docudrama, music documentaries and docu-soap series. He is also experienced in TV shows, promotion clips, investigative news show series, pilots, reports, short films, commercial spots, cookery shows, home makeover shows, art pictures, art docs, sports docs, TV-music shows, music clips and daily music shows.

 

Over the last twenty years, Martin has edited over 100 feature-length documentaries and has an extensive portfolio of other film work. He has worked at Hidden Light, Pulse Films, Grain Media and Passion Pictures in London. He has worked for SPIEGEL TV (the most relevant German news format), VH1 and MTV for more than five years.
