About me

Watching movies and behind the scenes are what inspire me to pursue a career in the film industry. I cannot imagine myself doing anything, but film work for a career.

My education, skill set and strong attention to accuracy and detail would allow me to be a good fit for any position. I have had experience in cinematography and post-production. I am particularly good at remembering and noticing visual detail and information. People have commented that I am good at picking out things that should not be in shots and picking up on errors that impact continuity. I have worked on film sets as well on sets for high school drama. I have also worked as a carpenter. I am a hard worker and pitch in as needed. My attention to detail and knowledge of equipment is helpful in equipment inspection and management.

Having to leave my home city, Saskatoon, has been probably the biggest leap in my life to earn education in a city, such as Vancouver, where people say the film industry is expanding.

Additional information:
Subsequent to my graduation from Vancouver Film School, where I trained in cinematography and post-production, I have worked in the film industry with Borrowtime Films, See Together Media, Go Group and a freelance director. I edited a short story and an episodic, which were presented at the VFS graduation ceremony. Also, a short documentary, The Lifestyle of Musicians, I filmed and edited has been put on the air by Charlotte TV at the University of North Carolina since April 9, 2018 on its M/W/F timeslots. Recently, I have been editing lecture videos for the H.R. Mental Wellness Centre.

Cinematography (camera operator) and Post-Production (editor) are my favourite choices for a job, but I am open to other career opportunities like Directing, Production, Production Design VFX, etc. I would be willing to shadow experts, be an intern or trainee so I can gain more experience.
