About Me
Since graduating with a 1st class BA(Hons) in Film & TV, I have worked on a range of productions in different roles and have gained experience both in organising teams and being part of a larger unit. I am keen to be a part of the industry as a runner and are known as a hard worker, a good communicator, and a team player.Michael is a motivated worker with a wide range of technical knowledge and skill. In his role as assistant director on "Limelight" the final episode of Oxygen Film's "A Series of Light" exclusive to Amazon Prime, he was able to demonstrate effective communication skills with the cast and crew. Michael's key responsibilities in this role included:
Being the first point of contact for talent listening to their queries and liaising with director to ensure they were comfortable throughout the shoot
Creating appropriate schedules and coordinating crew to ensure we kept to time
Liaising on set with all technical crew members to ensure the director can focus on actors’ performances.
What made Michael stand out in this role was his positive work ethic and attitude. He was considerate of all departments when it came to managing time and if things were taking longer than expected he came up with creative solutions to manage this as opposed to putting pressure on those departments.
Michael was a pleasure to work with, he is proactive and works well both leading, and as part of a team. His creative problem-solving and strong diligence to his responsibilities would make him an absolute asset to any production company seeking support.
