About me

Since I was 12 years old, film has always been my driving ambition in life, a goal that I have yet to be deterred from and I feel it is time to take that determination a step further. From a young age I have been absolutely fascinated by the world of filmmaking, the intricacies of good storytelling and creating a world in which literally anyone could become a part of; I find it exhilarating.

Having recently completed my Film degree at Falmouth University (2:1) I am now looking to tell a story and share in an adventure.

Highlights

  • My primary interests encompass the creation of story, particularly that of a fantasy genre. My interest in this genre inspired me to develop a fictional world, crafting a platform for a wider world to be created. At the forefront of this sits Journals of Erwich, a short film I wrote and directed for my final year at Falmouth University.

    However, my interests are not limited to one single genre, as the very nature of my degree allowed for me to be exposed to the very grand spectrum of filmmaking and film study.

    As a result of my studies, I have a thorough understanding of audience mentalities (a topic I explored in my dissertation), a comprehensive grasp on multiple aspects of filmmaking, as well as an understanding behind the administrative producing processes due to my time as co-director of a media production company.

    I have a very strong stance on the importance of every last detail and every member, as it is my belief that the best productions are those where everybody loves what they do, and everybody feels appreciated and valued.

    I have a broad set of skills, consisting of (but not limited to):
    - Capable camera operator, including good knowledge on shooting formats such as HDV and HD
    - Competent video editing ability
    - Proficient in Final Draft, Microsoft Office, Adobe CS6 Creative Suite, Pro Tools, Final Cut Pro & Express
    - Knowledge of sound equipment, including 302 Compact Production Mixer
    - Experience in Writing, Directing, Producing, Assistant Directing, Camera Operating, and Sound Recording
    - Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal
