COI edit request: neutral rewrite with sourced biography and filmography

Latest comment: 1 month ago2 comments2 people in discussion

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

I have a conflict of interest because I am Andrew Hewitt, the subject of this article. I am not making direct edits to the article.

Extended content

The current article has maintenance banners for promotional tone and insufficient sourcing for a biography of a living person. I am requesting review of the replacement draft below. The draft:

rewrites the article in a neutral, encyclopedic tone;
removes unsourced promotional wording and outdated unsupported list items;
adds citations for the BAFTA nomination, film credits, soundtrack releases and selected television credits;
updates the biography to reflect my current British-American identity and professional body of work;
replaces the old bullet lists with sourced filmography and selected television tables.

I would be grateful if an uninvolved editor could review the draft and make any changes they think are appropriate.
