I am a freelance runner/production assistant/editor looking for opportunities to bring support, energy and creativity to projects within film/TV production. I originally developed my filmmaking skills at UAL where I gained an MA with distinction in Documentary Filmmaking. My work on the MA course was praised for being both creative and sensitive and my final film is being used by the university to introduce new students to the course. I also have a BA (Hons) in Anthropology from Bristol University which was great in terms of developing an organized approach and attention to detail.

Since graduating, I have worked on a number of projects in a freelance capacity. I have acted as producer for a series of training films shot in Dubai for a technology company, most of which I also edited and formatted for social media. I have acted as production assistant( and second camera) on the production of two PR films promoting parenting products and also formatted for social media. I was also approached by UAL to direct a health and safety film for a national rail company which was logistically challenging given deadlines, budget and locations. I have largely edited all my own work and am very passionate about the whole post-production process and what it can bring to a project....its where the magic happens.
I have also done a considerable amount of research for nearly all the projects I have been involved with, sourcing equipment, location finding, props, music and image clearance, transport logistics, studio set up.

At this stage in my career, my main focus is to continue to gain valuable experience in this wonderful creative industry. As such, I'm happy to take any role that allows me to grow my capabilities while hopefully assisting those looking to nurture young talent. My recent roles have included:
-Runner
-Production Assistant
-Video Producer
-Researcher
-Editor ( Premiere)
-Stage and Talent manager

I would welcome a conversation about how I could fit into your organisation and would love to bring energy, creativity and dependability to your project

Please get in touch if you feel I can help. I'm happy to consider some voluntary work if I can balance it with some freelance projects

Hope to speak soon
