I first worked with George initially when he was a researcher casting contributors in Doncaster for a reality show for Zeppotron . I was very impressed with his communication skills and ability to find, profile, interview and manage contributors. On location he was hard working, engaged with the shoot, individual stories and constantly asking to help outside of his own responsibilities. He operated second camera on a canon 305 during studio and assisted the PD's during back stories and location filming.

When i was crewing up for the second series of What Happens in Kavos I knew George would be the perfect candidate to cast for contributors both in the office and on location and knew he was capable of performing these duties at AP level. He did a fantastic job, working 6 day weeks from 10am through to 4/5am in 40 degree heat under very difficult and contentious circumstances. He remained positive, hard working and was key in pulling in some of the strongest stories in the series.

I wouldn't hesitate to hire George again as an AP, he is the perfect addition to any team and his passion for the production and desire to constantly push his experience and broaden his knowledge makes him a great asset.
