About me
I would like to work in film development or film marketing, sales and distribution with an eye to becoming a producer one day. I hope to create films that inspire and move their audience in the way that my favourite films have done to me.Stories are my great passion in life, be they on the page, stage or silver screen. Of course my first love is film, having caught the movie bug watching (weirdly) Taxi Driver when I was 16. I had always enjoyed watching films (I have a memory of trying to run up a wall after first watching The Matrix, to give you some insight into the level of excitement a movie could induce in me) but it was watching the New Hollywood films of the ‘60s and ‘70s that really sparked a fire in me to learn about the process of film making and set me on the road to trying to find where I might fit into that world.
The experience I have gained from working as an actor has given me a good understanding and intuition for what makes a good story; taught me to be a proactive and effective member of a team working toward the creation and delivery of a piece of entertainment; and how to create rapport with people very quickly. My experience as a runner/driver over the past two years has taught me to be quick on the uptake, calm and good humoured under pressure and hard working. I currently have a limited understanding of how a film goes from an idea in someone’s head to a thirty foot high image being watched by an audience in a cinema, but I want to learn what the process is and be a part of it and I am willing to work very hard to earn my place in that process.
