Minnow Films for Paramount+

Editors: Franco Bogino and Martin Craswell

The commission for this gruelling two-part true crime story came through to Minnow Films late in the game and we were delighted to be able to help by offering the services of Franco Bogino, who’s versatility and extensive experience with true crime made him the perfect fit for this project.

The series follows the 2024 murder of Stuart Everett by Marcin Majerkiewicz, using CCTV footage as the main investigative tool.

Franco got on really well with the team at Minnow and noted that it was only due to amazing teamwork that they managed to get this ambitious project over the line on such a fast turnaround. Franco edited episode 1 which focuses on the discovery of the crime and the investigation to identify both victim and killer as the dismembered parts of Stuart Everett’s body were scattered across the Greater Manchester area, making it almost impossible to identify at first.

This set up the second episode, which directed its attention to the extensive teams across the Force gathering evidence to make sure this abhorrent crime didn’t go unpunished. Martin Craswell joined this episode for the last few weeks as finishing editor and told us it was a real pleasure to work as part of a great team that was so creative and willing to buy pastries to fuel them on!

The Jigsaw Puzzle Murder will premiere on Paramount+ on 12^th November.
