UNIT Film & TV, the Fitzrovia boutique facility, announced the hire of two highly acclaimed longform artists to join its ever-expanding team, welcoming Colourist Kevin Horsewood and Online Editor, Simon Giblin.
Both artists bring a wealth of experience and a remarkable portfolio of work that will significantly enhance the facility’s creative capabilities, working closely with UNIT Head of Film & TV Louise Stevenson, Senior Colourist Dan Coles and Online Editor, Siôn Penny.
Kevin Horsewood joins UNIT TV & Film with an impressive background in grading. Over the years his work has been honoured with multiple awards, including a BAFTA (‘Troy: Fall of a City’) and three RTS Television Awards (‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’, ‘Sherlock’ and ‘Persuasion’), alongside additional nominations.
His notable credits include critically acclaimed series such as ‘Black Mirror’, ‘The Devil’s Hour’, ‘Inside Man’, ’Best Interests’, ‘Happy Valley’, ‘Gentleman Jack’, and ‘Brave New World’. Kevin’s expertise lies in his early involvement in productions, collaborating closely with Directors of Photography (DoPs) to shape the visual style from pre-production through to the final grade. His long standing relationships with industry-leading DoPs and his passion for creating distinctive visual narratives make him a valuable addition to our team.
UNIT Longform Colourist Kevin commented, “I’m excited to be joining UNIT Film & TV at such an innovative and dynamic time. I look forward to working with the talented team here and contributing to the high-quality projects that UNIT is known for.”

Simon Giblin expressed his enthusiasm about his new UNIT role, saying: “I couldn’t be prouder to be joining UNIT at a time of growth and can’t wait to contribute to the continued expansion of the broadcast team. It’s an honour to bring my experience and to work alongside Kevin and the team in creating outstanding visual storytelling. The UNIT Longform team has already had such a strong year and we look forward to working on some of the best Film and TV projects over the coming years with Louise as the broadcast department continues to grow and expand.”
UNIT Head of Film & TV Louise Stevenson said of the hires: “The addition of Kevin and Simon, coupled with the opening of our new Fitzrovia facility, marks an exciting new chapter for UNIT Film & TV.
