About me
As a graduate, my ambition is to gain as much experience of the industry I love. I aim to gain as much experience, to expand and develop new skills whilst developing the skills I have already obtained. I'm constantly developing my skills and now I have the chance to extensively use my skill-set productively and creatively in a worthwhile way.Referees:

Relationship to me: Co-founder of our production company.
I have co-directed the production company, Wise Old Owl Film Productions with James Lee for two years now, and have known him personally for ten years.
Within our time together at the company, we have on numerous projects together ranging from short films (which we have followed from conception to final product) to advertisements for local companies. On these projects, James took control of a variety of different areas including directing, cinematography, writing and producing.
One of these projects involved filming short documentary at a college for young adults with learning disabilities where James was not only a vital part of a miniscule crew, but also conducted himself in an extremely professional and adequate manner for the environment we were working in.
Overall however, I can honestly say James is the best person I have ever worked on a film set with. His rigorous planning has become something I now rely on and his attention to detail is second to none. Moreover his relentlessness is almost admirable: when he starts a project he will not rest until it is completed to the best of his abilities. These are the key reasons I would now never want to be on a set without James Lee
