3rd year Film & Television Production – Final Major Project

Based in the North East of England. I am currently studying Film and Television Production at Teesside University. I have experience producing independent short films and have a flexible work sheet from: Pre-Production, Writing, Cinematography, Editing, Sound Engineering and Acting. I’ve had credits on a series of independent projects from specialised documentary’s such as ‘Goth Spot’ (2019) and ‘The Show Must Go On’ (2020) to experimental passion projects like ‘Green Stuff’ (2019) and ‘Baking a Murderer’ (2020). My knowhow in independent films has lead me to honing my skills in: problem solving, flexible creativity, communication, technical expertise, leadership, writing and visual storytelling. I have also had vast work experience; earning customer and management skills from working in Wedding venues, Restaurants and Nail Bars. I am currently looking into completing a masters degree and to gain experience in the film industry as well as further my writing skills along with my music hobby.
