Huge congratulations to Five Mile Films’ very own Celia Qu on being named as one of @broadcastnow_mbi 2025 Hot Shots!
Before finding her passion in the edit suite, Celia wore many hats — from corporate videographer to DIT and camera op — working with top indies like Nutopia, Silverback Films, and Plimsoll
She joined us as an edit assistant on The Dog House (Series 6), sharpened her skills through the ScreenSkills Unscripted Junior Editing scheme, and quickly rose to become a junior editor on the BBC’s Lucan
Celia also launched and led The Dog House’s YouTube channel, cutting over 50 short films. Thanks to her sharp storytelling and digital know-how, the channel quickly racked up views — with some edits reaching millions on Instagram and TikTok
We’re so proud to see her recognised as part of the 2025 Emerging Talent initiative, which seeks out the brightest and most promising individuals from across the television industry. Well deserved, Celia!
