Victoria Sankey
Victoria has built an impressively varied career in the edit, moving confidently between documentary, factual entertainment and reality while bringing creativity, technical know-how and a collaborative approach to every project.
Her documentary work spans access-led, observational, true crime and specialist factual storytelling. Credits include National Geographic’s Top Guns: The Next Generation, filmed with unprecedented access to US Navy and Marine Corps student pilots undertaking elite strike fighter training, alongside Accused: Guilty or Innocent?, where she worked across three episodes following serious criminal cases from the perspective of the accused and their families. Her wider credits range from WWII: Secrets From Above and Magic of Disney’s Animal Kingdom to Inside the Factory and Paddington Station 24/7.
Victoria is equally at home finding character, humour and drama in entertainment and reality. She has edited across four series of Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test, as well as Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins, Vicky Pattison: My Big Fat Geordie Wedding, Neighborhood Watch and The Great British Bake Off. Her breadth allows her to adapt naturally to very different formats, whether building tension, handling sensitive real-life stories or finding entertaining moments in actuality.
Victoria combines strong storytelling with an excellent understanding of the wider post-production process. Creative, technically confident and solution-focused, she thrives on new challenges and brings the same energy and commitment to every edit
