Bio
Kit Jennings is a London-based film editor, BAFTA Crew Alumni and co-founder/creative producer at HAUS Pictures.
Across his editing career he has worked with a wide variety of acclaimed directors across film, tv, commercials, content & music videos, as well as working closely with agencies and production companies on internal films, sizzles & pitch/mood films, as well as external B2B, B2C, social, & mini-docs.
He is also a creative producer & co-founder at HAUS Pictures, whose debut feature, Restless (written & directed by Jed Hart), premiered at Tribeca and had a two week cinema run.
With HAUS, Kit works with writers & directors on shorts & features in development and throughout production as an associate or co-producer, helping to shape story from first draft to final mix.
Kit composed the original score to Anil Padia & Michael Mwangi Maina's Temple Road and also scored & cut the Restless film trailer.
He is also a keen writer who enjoys using comedy to explore emotional repression, hidden societal forces and the narratives we tell ourselves to understand a complex world.
