I’m Matthew King. A TV Editor, Videographer, Writer and Founder/Director of Jumping Spider Films Video Production Ltd.

I’m currently available for projects.

I’m based in Cheltenham, UK and can usually be found eating anything baked whilst working from home.

After graduating with a degree in film studies, I spent several years working in the TV industry as an Editor. Having multiple skills beyond editing including Camera work and Directing I decided to start the Video Production Company Jumping Spider Films in 2010.
