About Nicole Ratcliffe
Nicole Ratcliffe, CCE, discovered the magic of picture editing in film school and never looked back. Over a 20+ year career, she’s worked across drama, comedy, sci-fi, action, and her favourite genre, horror, collaborating with some of television’s top talent. “For me, it’s always about serving the story,” says Nicole.
“Crafting a compelling story through performance and shot choice never gets boring.” Known for her calm, collaborative approach in the edit suite, Nicole brings a laid-back optimism to every project. Big on mentorship and community, “Mentoring others while continuously learning myself has expanded my journey, both as an editor and a human.”
“Collaboration in the edit suite can make the story. Following the directors lead but also being allowed to explore performances, pacing and tone make for a successful telling of a compelling story.”
