About me
I'm a fiImmaker and a journalist, based in London, with three years experience working in broadcast television, newspapers, videography and film. In these roles, over three years, I have worked for the BBC, Al Jazeera, the Press Association, The Times, the Telegraph and more.I am now looking to pivot back to my true passion of film, and carry out roles as a director, camera operator, runner, production assistant, second and third AD, second and third AC, production coordinator and driver. I will bring the experience I've gained of self-shooting, editing, setting up interviews, and my confidence in Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe After Effects, Avid Media Composer, Final Cut Pro X and shooting on a range of cameras including the Canon C300, Sony FS5 and DSLRs to jobs that I enroll in when possible.
However I don't have airs, I am keen to help out and work on any production, to work my way up again from what I used to do. I graduated with a degree in Film and Television Studies in 2016 with First Class Honours, and while I went on to do a Masters in Journalism and work in that industry, I miss narrative film and am seeking to immerse myself back in that world. I've worked on a range of productions as a runner and am a confident crew member on set who understands the industry's often long hours, fast-paced environments and desire for quiet.
I'm approachable, optimistic and I always find a way to love what what I'm doing, so I think I'm a good person to have around whatever job we're doing. I'm a people person so I hope to meet you, to connect, and have a fun time doing what we love.
