About me
I have significant experience of working in the entertainment industry including TV, Theatre, Film and TV, working as both an actor, and within a casting department. I have solid experience and knowledge of Theatre, Film and TV production. This experience has been varied from back office, to front of house and on stage.My time in casting involved working with Directors, Cast, Agencies, engaging with them, negotiating availability and contracts and the more mundane administration that is required. This was down to reading scripts and producing character breakdown, as well as synopsis of the feature in pre- production. Also this has given me experience in dealing with the budgeting of the casting department, and if necessary making payments of the fees owed.
I have also had to deal with not only sorting contracts but organising travel and accommodation and being the point of contact for the artists whilst on set. I worked with a small independent film production companies as Casting Associate on specific projects, working with the Director and founder of these companies, as well as Executive Producers.
This included using my established contacts to support my casting work, and representing these companies on these projects to secure actors. My responsibilities include: casting research and advertisement for projects, fee negotiations pre-project (including letters of intent, deal memos and contracts), organising and attending meetings with key stakeholders (Directors/cast/Executive Producers/agents), responding to requests for information to support Marketing, along with filming and editing auditions for approval by Director's and Producer's.
I take a flexible approach to my hours and have always worked the hours needed to complete projects successfully. This has seen working on set during a production shoot, and I am aware that nothing stops at 6pm. I have in cases worked through night shoots and also dealt with agents in the US at unsociable hours.
In various roles I have gained office and administration experience particularly in finance which has given me good attention to detail and with dealing with databases and systems. My career history indicates my interest and flexibility in gaining varied experience. My abilities and skills have supported ongoing freelance work, and I am very motivated to work full time within the industry
