He has since edited over a dozen shorts and three features, as well as been assistant editor on over a dozen feature films..

Immanuel co-wrote his first short film WHITELANDS (Soho Rushes Film Festival 2012), starring Andrew Buchan and Romola Garai, which was subsequently sold to Shorts International for distribution across their international television network, iTunes and Amazon Instant Video. His second short film PADDY (co-directed with Laurence Spellman and shot by Maja Zamojda) was selected by the London, Austin and L.A. Indie Film festivals in 2014.
