Looking for entry-level work in the film/tv & media industry

I am a filmmaker, graduated in film production at the University for the Creative Arts. During my time at University, I specialised in cinematography, working on a wide range of shoots in varying roles, from AC, gaffer to DoP. I am an experienced editor and I am experienced with Premiere Pro, Vegas Pro, After Effects and other software such as Photoshop and Blender. I am well versed in all technical & creative skills required for filmmaking. I understand the workflow filmmaking deeply and take consideration for every department in what I do while working on projects.

I’ve worked full-time as the Lighting & Equipment manager at Park Royal Studios since July 2021. In this role, I have worked with multiple high-budget productions to supply & source their lighting, grip and digital equipment, as well as set up the equipment for the productions on-set. This role has required me to be incredibly organised and understand the workflow of a set in terms of every department, as well as be socially graceful, as the role is heavily reliant on clear communication. In this role, I have worked directly with HoDs from all departments and have a comprehensive understanding of the overall structure of a film crew. I have worked with productions such as Lucas Films, Marv Productions, BBC and an array of commercial production companies.
