Tariq Anwar is modest about an editing career that includes the iconic
American Beauty, Wings of the Dove, Stage Beauty and
The Madness of King George. He got his chops editing
at the BBC for 18 years, which he calls “the best training possible.”
He took the leap to freelancing 15
years ago and spent some hard time breaking through to movies. “It
wasn’t easy because of the snobbery attached to moviemaking,” he says.
“In spite of BAFTA Awards and so on, I wasn’t considered good enough
for a feature film.” Along came The Madness of King George, director
Nick Hytner’s first film, and the rest is history. He’s also done
second unit directing for The Madness of King George
and Stage Beauty.

Tariq, I believe you are my first cousin - if your birthday is 21/9/45, and your father's name is Rafiq Anver.
I have been wanting to make a contact for a while ..... I live in Australia - my father's (now deceased) name is Shafiq Anwar.
If it is you I would love to hear from you.
Please drop me a line via email.
Best wishes ..... Peter
