Read MoreVersatile researcher. 2+ years experience of casting, location, development, archive & edit. 72 Films, Love, Sandpaper. Fact ent, docs & history. C4, ITV, BBC, C5.
You can find me in the office or on a shoot, working effectively with colleagues, contribs and talent.
Casting:I was on the casting team for a new Channel 4 factual entertainment show at Love Productions, Your Song. From outreach, to tapes, to background checks, to chaperoning the final cast on the shoots, I was lucky enough to see through the entire casting process.
I have experience of street casting, social media outreach, phone bashing, research calls, zoom calls, editing, shooting casting tapes, background checks, welfare racking and chaperoning.
Archive: The majority of my jobs have involved archive research, costing and clearance. I worked on Sandpaper Films’ feature doc Andrew Tate and the Dark Side of the Internet, Mindhouse’s music documentary Boybands Forever for BBC2 and on Two Rivers’ fashion doc Icons of Style.
I've sourced and cleared archive from national, international, private lirbaries and collections. I have worked with UGC and have a sound undertsanding of fair dealing. I've worked across m ultiple edits at once. I can cost and work with EDLs.
Development:I helped develop a talent-led format commissioned as part of ITV’s slate for Black History Month, Ash Holme: What Not To Do With Dad, at Postcard Productions.
I can write toplines and treatments, create decks and edit sizzles. I also have a keen eye for emerging talent.
Training:At Love I received training in shooting on an FS7 and in using Avid, I also carried out Mad Dogs TV Self Shooter Gurus camera training, and DV Talent's Essential Skills for TV Researchers. I was part of Screenskills' x Mission Accomplished's Development Researcher Programme and FOCAL International's Archive Mentoring Programme.
Outside of TV:Before TV, I worked in hospitality and various administration roles, so I'm a confident communicator, both in person and over the phone. I was also a nanny for a year; I really enjoy working with children and I find that kids will quickly feel comfortable around me.
