About me

I am a highly motivated film and digital Assistant Producer, currently selfshooting and editing content for BBC Drama. I’m passionate about creating real, authentic stories for young people and so my goal is to strengthen my factual entertainment skills in order to producing fresh and brave multi-platform content that reflects and excites diverse, young audiences. * Directing shoots and interviewing high-profile cast. * Editing short-form content to a professional standard for large audiences. * Developing new format ideas from concept to finished product * Proposal writing and pitching to key stakeholders and senior teams. Currently working full-time, but love a side project, so I'm always looking to explore new creative collaborations especially in short film, podcasting and community event curation.

Education

U
U
First Class BA (Hons) FilmmakingUniversity of the West of England
Sep 2014 - Jun 2017Bristol, United Kingdom
Filmmaking at U.W.E. gave me the opportunity to work with crew, actors and contributors from a range of cultural backgrounds, delving deeper into social and political subjects such as fox-hunting, the LGBT community and people living with Dementia. These topics were always encouraged to be explored in innovative and creative ways, from designing location based apps to interactive websites to immersive social media campaigns to even blurring the lines between the digital and the real-world with interactive exhibitions. This course helped me understand the digital world of filmmaking and its endless opportunities. The course also helped me explore all aspects of filmmaking giving me the opportunity to work within a team in multiple ways; leading, collaborating or working under leadership.
