Diarmid scrimshaw biography of mahatma

Day two of Journalism and Media Week concluded its Screen Yorkshire Day with: ‘In conversation with Diarmid Scrimshaw.’ 

Richard Knight, a friend and Screen Yorkshire host, interviewed the three-time BAFTA winner about his personal experiences in the industry. In an authentic and honest dialogue, the two light-heartedly discussed Scrimshaw’s time in the business. 

Scrimshaw began his film career at 21, editing shorts before quickly discovering his skills were better suited to script supervision. He said: “A script supervisor is essentially the on-set representative of the editor; the role is to ensure continuity throughout the editing process.” This led to his work on the highly acclaimed British independent film This is England, directed by Mark Herbert. 

“In that role, you work very closely with the director. You are sat next to them on set during filming,” he recalled. 

The BAFTA winner admitted he had no ambition of ever becoming a feature film producer.
