Freelance Film Editor
Bringing music to life on screen
Editor of Music films, Live Events & Docs for the Worlds Biggest Artists
Editor | Storyteller | Collaborator
I’m Ben Wainwright-Pearce, a freelance editor with two decades of experience cutting performance films, global tour documentaries, and live event specials.
My work sits at the intersection of story, sound, and spectacle. I’ve shaped iconic projects for artists including Beyoncé, Taylor Swift, Coldplay, Ed Sheeran, Billie Eilish, Paul McCartney, The Rolling Stones, and GRM Daily, collaborating with directors like Jonas Åkerlund, Sam Wrench, Paul Dugdale, James Merryman and Hamish Hamilton to bring bold visions to life.
I believe every frame should earn its place.
