ABOUT ME
​
Born in London and trained at the National Film and Television School (UK), specialising in Editing.
​
I have recently finished editing the Sri Lankan feature film House Of My Fathers which premiered in competition at the Hamburg Film Festival (2018) and which the Hollywood Reporter called 'A poetic allegory on war and its consequences...'.
I was nominated at the Sundance Film Festival (2013) in the World Cinema Documentary Editing category for The Stuart Hall Project and was also on the shortlist for the 2016 Jules Wright Prize for Female Creative Technicians.
​
My editing portfolio consists of Sundance, Grierson, Sheffield and BAFTA nominated documentaries for television and the cinema. Dedicated and intuitive, I am sensitive to the material before me. I can pick up on nuances which reveal deeper facets of character and subtle turning points in a narrative that help add complexity to a story.
I am flexible in my approach to suit the needs of the project. I have worked on art projects which do not rely on linear-storytelling, but rather, seek to emphasise creative connections driven by the edit. Additionally, I have extensive experience of using archive to tell a story rather than simply as illustration.

MEDIA MENTIONS
Press Release for the Jules Wright Prize
for Female Creative Technicians
Nse Asuquo has contributed her creative and technical editing skills to a number of artists work but the jury were particularly impressed with the editing on John Akomfrah's triple screen 'The Unfinished Conversation'. This is extremely complicated and complex editing with wonderful juxtaposition of movement, stillness, sound, music, timing and rhythm. An intelligent approach that evokes rather than dictates, creating multi-layered levels of engagement and a real presence.
Guy Lodge, Variety Magazine
on The Stuart Hall Project
It's a lot of material fluidly edited by Nse Asuquo into a sustained narrative...
