Highlights
-
• 2011 onwards - Founding Director member of London Film Entrepreneurs, we shoot, write, direct and design films.
This is my passion, we are a small group of about 45, we attended a short course at Raindance and decided to set up our own company. We work very much like you, we all share and listen to each others ideas, everyone's voice is heard. We come up with original ideas for scripts and create our own films. I have worked as a set designer and assistant director. We are a very young company but we have big ideas and lots of festivals we want to enter this year!
• 2011 - Volunteered over the summer helping to design, layout and make decorations for the Japanese Matsuri exhibition on the Southbank. An annual, internationally recognized event, this particular year was in support of Tsunami victims.
Helped design the original decoration idea and then spent an enjoyable 6 weeks making lots of little cranes and flowers and other bits and pieces. A lot of fun and an great learning experience.
• 2010 – Helped design and dress venues for a wedding planning company.
My friend owns a wedding company and on larger weddings I help dress the venue. This can be a variety of things, from simple chair covers and table decorations to elaborate and technical themes.
• 2009 onwards - Work on various short films, fashion shows, live events and music videos as a makeup artist, set dresser and assistant director.
I do this from time to time, I am a qualified make-up artist and though I decided not to pursue this as a career I made a lot of friends who still make films, music videos, do live performance that I help out on. I also work as a set dresser/designer trying to gain as much experience as possible. I am good at sourcing props and making items as well as coming up with innovative ways round a problem.
