Person properties

General info :
Justine Wright grew up in Wellington, New Zealand and moved to London in 1990 where she was trained in a commercials editing house before moving on to cut feature documentaries. Cutting documentaries influenced her later work on film as she always is asking the question “Do I believe what I am being shown?”

She has worked with director Kevin Macdonald on a number of features, including Academy Award-winning documentary feature 'One Day in September', BAFTA winning 'Touching the Void'and 'The Last King of Scotland', 'State of Play', 'The Eagle' and 'Black Sea'. Other films cut by Justine include 'Locke' directed by Steven Knight and starring Tom Hardy; 'The Iron Lady' directed by Phyllida Lloyd and starring Meryl Streep; Daniel Gordon’s 'The Game of Their Lives', which was named Best Sports Documentary at the British Television Awards; Patrick Harkins’ 'The Final Curtain', starring Peter O’Toole and Saul Metzstein’s 'Late Night Shopping', which won a BAFTA (Scotland) Best Feature Film award.

Justine has also contributed to Playhouse Presents for Sky Arts cutting three short films: Jeremy’s Brock’s 'Walking the Dogs' starring Emma Thompson, and Idris Elba, 'The Pavement Psychologist' and 'King For A Term'. Justine also works regularly as an editing consultant for documentaries and drama.

In 2000, the film One Day in September, which Wright had edited, won an Academy Award for Best Documentary.
Wright also won Best Newcomer Behind the Camera at the British Independent Film Awards for the same film.
In 2014, Wright won European Editor of the Year Award at the European Film Awards.
In 2016, Wright was co-winner (with Noam Amit) at the Jerusalem Film Festival of the Haggiag Award for Best Editing for her work editing Forever Pure.
