The Day That Changed My Life was edited at the Bigger Picture by Simon Coldrick.
Simon Coldrick has a keen eye for story and drama, and what it means to be human. He thinks as much about sound as he does picture when piecing material together ... A great collaborator, thoroughly dedicated to his craft.
