Joseph Tims
Jo says of himself: 'as an editor I trust my creative instincts and ability to extract the most emotional response from the story I'm telling'. In a fifteen-year career, he has moved easily between drama, documentary and live music, and enjoys the discipline of episodic television as much as the creativity of feature films. Jo is based in London and available for work worldwide. Visit www.josephtims.com for more information and to view some of Jo's work.

Percentiles are each film's standing among all films on MovieCove; the typical film is the median, so one outlier cannot drag it. Percentiles and reviewer scores count the films IMDb credits them on, for now; the Midcredits score bands, the shape of the crowd and the two cards count their MovieCove titles, shows included (a show ranked among shows), appearances as themselves left out. A descriptor is the shape of a title's IMDb rating distribution against the catalog; "most divisive" needs a spread wider than half of all titles, and a card names only a principal credit: a craft role, and on a show a crew role or a run of episodes, never a courtesy credit or a one-off guest spot.
