About

Hi, I’m Emily - a passionate, multi-skilled creative with a background in film, theatre, and television. Born to both Italian and English roots, I’m currently based in London and thrive in fast-paced, collaborative environments.

Whether I’m supporting production on set, crafting visual content, or editing behind the scenes, I bring a strong sense of curiosity, creativity, and connection to everything I do.

I’ve had the opportunity to work with leading companies such as ITV, SKY Studios, Transistor Films, Quite Frankly Productions, HotSauce TV, and more, gaining hands-on experience across a range of exciting projects.

Right now, I’m looking to collaborate on meaningful, creative work that brings people together and tells great stories. If you’re after someone who brings heart, humour, and a keen eye to the job, you’re in the right place.

I highly recommend Emily Heighton, who is a creative, highly organised and innovative professional. I was Emily's tutor during her undergraduate degree, where she excelled in her filmmaking work and put her huge energies into multiple creative activities outside her core studies. She proved herself to be a great collaborator- trustworthy, supportive, and frequently adding huge value to projects in which she was involved.

I’ve worked with Emily on several productions and can confidently recommend her without hesitation. Her involvement consistently leads to a more seamless operation. She listens closely, takes initiative and often anticipates needs before they arise. More than once, I’ve brought her a task only to find she’s already prepared, with smart, well-thought-out options ready to go.

Emily brings a calm, focused presence and supports the entire team with ease. She builds strong rapport with cast, crew & clients alike and is solutions-oriented which comes from her ability to think ahead. She clearly loves production, bringing energy, commitment and sharp instincts to every project.

Any production would be lucky to have her on their team.

I have known Emily for a few years now, since the time she walked into my edit suite at Sky for some work experience.
Emily has a very proactive attitude to problem solving, with resilience also being a very important asset she has in spades.
I have been able to experience Emily's very strong work ethic and excellent people skills; and an enthusiasm and passion for anything video editing and film-making related.
Combining all the above with the energy and stamina typical of a young person, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Emily and her skills.

Senior Video Editor at SKY

Emily worked with us across a couple of studio and location productions for Sky. She is extremely hard working, great at time keeping and willing to go the extra mile to get the job done. I would highly recommend Emily as a production assistant.
