PERSONAL STATEMENT

My main interest and skill base is in the organisational aspects of programme making. I get a great deal of satisfaction from the formation and implementation of schedules, running orders, shooting scripts and the development of processes designed to find logistical solutions. I can offer the advantage of maturity and the willingness to work hard.
I have become proficient with studio, gallery and post-production techniques and the ability to effectively liaise and communicate with all contributors to a production ranging from the ultimate client, through the producer / director all the way up to the runner!
