About me
After studying and working in film and media for over 10 years, I have gained much experience in production. I began working for an award winning, commercial production company called Mustard Films as a runner and digital assistant in 2007. During my time there I gained knowledge of the film production process and experienced working in many different positions. My initial responsibilities as a digital assistant included managing, transcoding, digitising and archiving content for online and DVD authoring purposes. I quickly advanced within the company and became a creative production assistant, assisting directors and producers from the pre-production stages, through to completion and distribution. Once commercials were televised, I worked with producers designing and creating online campaigns, to promote our latest work. I was soon given opportunities to demonstrate my filming and editing capabilities and began filming, editing and directing castings. Once these skills were recognised, I was given more creative freedom and found myself editing showreels, mood films, montages and trailers. Creatively I also worked with directors and producers on treatment development, researching, writing and designing treatments, to win potential jobs for the company.
After leaving my full time position at Mustard Films, I have worked as a freelancer for various production and television companies such as ITV. As an aspiring film director, I have recently been working on my own film productions, developing my craft and created my own small, independent production company, producing a variety of content, from music videos to interviews, mainly for independent artists, musicians and record labels, based in Europe and the United States.
