Production Experience (References Available on Request)

Freelance Producer August 2012-present - currently producing short corporate films and advertisements for businesses looking to expand their online profile. I communicate with clients, market my business, operate the camera and edit the films, allowing me to acquire a broad skill set. Many of my clients have been repeat users. This has given me the confidence to work independently and manage my own business.

Producer and Production Assistant for Creative Media (Unpaid Experience) June - July 2012 -
Spent 5 weeks on a work placement with Creative Media in Birmingham producing my own short drama promoting three charities on campus. Also spent time as a production assistant for a project on campus security. This taught me the skills involved and the process required in film production, including editing, camera operation, legal requirements and scheduling.

Production Runner, Assistant and Background Artist for the BBC April 2012 (Unpaid Experience) - Spent 2 weeks working as a Production Runner in Dublin on the set for "Loving Miss Hatto". Worked under pressure and professional circumstances. This helped me to gain the initiative and planning required when working as a runner and the confidence required when working in front of and behind the camera.
