Andrew Salter

Andrew Salter is a UK-based filmmaker and editor. He describes himself as having a wide variety of skills and interests, and specialises in sizzle reels and stylistic, short-form storytelling. One press recap calls him a wildlife filmmaker based in Bristol.

His editing credits include sizzle reels and pilots for Passion Pictures, Keo Films and Plimsoll Productions, additional editing on the NHK-backed Wild London, showreels and trailers for Jo Sarsby Management, and Beabadoobee tour diaries for Dirty Hit. He has also done graphics for the BBC's Wild London and ITV's Shark! Celebrity Infested Waters, and research work on BBC Studios' Springwatch and Plimsoll's Secret Garden. He is a development assistant producer at Passion Pictures.

His most recent independent project is JAILBIRD (2025), an experimental AI documentary that follows a chicken sent to a UK prison as part of an inmate rehabilitation programme, told from the bird's perspective. He says it began as illustrated storyboards that he described to AI tools and then refined and edited together; apart from the drawings at the end, every visual was AI-generated. It was made with Runway.

JAILBIRD won Gold at Runway's AI Film Festival 2025 and screened in IMAX in August 2025, though a few outlets list it as second place. His site quotes The Hollywood Reporter calling it the most affecting and humanist piece, and Deadline calling it a standout at the festival. Earlier, his film Web of Love won the Fan's Choice Award at the Love Nature Bite-Size Showcase in 2021.
