Referees:
* Jo Mifsud - Production Manager for Tech 21 / Apple Shoot
" Rachel is an extremely passionate and conscientious person, who will always go the extra mile when it comes to delivering her work on set - she's a great people person, constantly putting the talent and crew she works with at ease. We recently worked on a commercial for Tech21 / Apple, she worked on two models and the feedback I've had from them and the client was outstanding - she made our models feel comfortable and she delivered two stylish, clean and natural looks that the client was looking for. I look forward to working Rachel again very soon, which is hopefully a testament to her great work."

* Darren A Furniss - Director for Short Film "Shredders"
"Rachel worked as Hair & Make-Up Artist on my short film, Shredders. She was in equal parts, friendly, professional, passionate and talented. Her dedication to the work, which was very demanding, was incredible and she was a fantastic team player. I would recommend Rachel for any film production looking to work with someone who would give them her absolute all."
* Michael James Dean - Producer and Writer for Short Film "Shredders"
"I had the pleasure of working with Rachel on the short film ‘Shredders’. From the moment Rachel applied for the role she was professional and confident. I chose her for the role of Make Up artist on ‘Shredders’ because I felt that she had the right style and look that fitted the film.
Before we began shooting Rachel made her self available for any questions myself and the Director had. She gave her professional opinion on what she felt was needed to ensure the actors looked how we needed, she did this with confidence in her knowledge.
On set Rachel was an amazing personality to have. We are all aware how long film shoots can be and how stressful, but Rachel kept her energy up and when others were low in energy, she brought them up. She worked quickly when a problem arose and was always willing to lend a hand where needed; even when asked to scream for her life and run through shot. She never complained and did everything with a smile.
Rachel was a fantastic edition to the crew for ‘Shredders’ and I would have no doubt about working with her again on future projects. Her work was stellar, her attitude was amazing, and your project will be better for having her on board.

"16/11/18
To Whom It May Concern, I met Rachel last year who assisted me on a short film for Film4 called BOAT, she has been assisting me on other shoots throughout the year and as I got to know her she showed great passion and dedication for the industry. Rachel has been brilliant helping me work on crowd scenes and works well under pressure showing her initiatives. She is very eager to learn and always puts extra work to do a good job. She demonstrates a positive outlook to my shoots and reliable when she’s needed. I have seen vast improvements of her talent and would love to see her grow. If you have any further questions then please don’t hesitate to contact me.
Yours Sincerely,
Lisa Chau
