About me
I'm a 19-years-old girl at the very beginning of my career. All I want to do is work ( or volunteer ) on different TV and film projects. I'd love to work for the production team where I could assist with all the paper work, emails, phone calls and managing people.
I also have a broad knowledge (broad, because I only just finished my first year at university!) of pre production and post production. I have recently made a short documentary film all by myself (mainly for my degree).
Currently, I am a production manager for the short film 'Kinetic' that will be premiered in June this year.

Education
BA Anthropology and Visual Practice
-
The practical component of this course offers training in videography, editing, photography and specialistic software. It allows me to develop my understanding of film production, step by step from pre production to post production. As a result, I am able to create documentary films that focus on a wide range of anthropological and sociological issues. These skills are definitely transferable, and whatever I have learned so far making documentaries films I apply them in making short and fictional films.
