Blast Films for Hulu/Disney+

Editors: Abraham Teweldebrhan + Chris Scurfield

10-part Hulu original docu-series sharing a year in the life of Coleen and Wayne Rooney. Given unprecedented access, cameras are flies on the walls observing the highs and lows of daily life in the Rooney household, from lavish holidays and grand celebrations to personal struggles and career-defining moments. The audience sees it all!

Chris Scurfield, a Blast! favourite, took a bit of a step back from true crime this year by cutting not 2 but 3 series on famous families, with The White House and Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home before jumping on to The Real Rooneys. Each series took a completely different approach, showcasing Chris’ versatility as he adapts not only to the style of doc but also delivering to three completely different broadcasters. He had a lot of fun on this edit, coming in for 12 weeks to help tweak episodes across the series.

This was Abraham’s first booking with Blast! and he got on with the team famously. Coming in as a finishing editor can put quite a lot of pressure on but Abs was cool as a cucumber and did an amazing job finessing the series.
