• As a Writer:
  I aim to tell meaningful stories with full of pathos and drama, but underlined with comedy. Exploring difficult topics and talking current issues is also important to me, it may be a cliché for some but I believe that representation and diversity matters. This should be reflected in the stories and films we make. That’s not to say that storytelling can’t be fun, some of my biggest influences are Japanese anime and slap-stick comedy.
  I am no stranger to working with people. In pervious jobs, my main responsibilities and challenges were working with a variety of people, with varied demands and needs, from vulnerable children to elderly congregation members, senior executives, partners and stakeholders. Good teamwork is always important on any project, but so too is good communication. I am a highly proficient communicator with skills in public speaking, teaching, mentoring, safeguarding, minimal counselling, and pastoral care. I enjoy face to face interactions and look forward to working with actors and other crew members. I thrive best when working as part of a team but can also work well as an individual. I have a good amount of life experience and proficient skills in management, leadership, team management, project management, and administration.
  
  In my spare time, I enjoy many varied hobbies. I am currently learning to fly microlight aircraft; I love horse-riding with my wife and I also build and fly model aircraft. I shoot and go hunting in different seasons. My varied hobbies, as well as a good amount of travel, allow me the opportunity to meet and interact with a variety of different people and groups from different backgrounds and cultures. I love traveling, meeting new people and connecting with people from different backgrounds to myself. I grew up in Zimbabwe, so my own cultural experience and background are very different, and I have experienced varied influences through the years.
