PRIMARY EXPERTISE: Filmmaking: A decades investment in developing writing, directing, production management, camera and video editing skills at Ealing Studios Met Film School and Bournemouth University – to bring story, product, service, lifestyle and emotions to the screen through vivid, dynamic, versatile narratives and filmmaking techniques. Project Management: Whatever the ‘brief’, the focus must remain on the time, cost, quality to develop a product that both meets budget and deadlines, whilst still exciting the client / viewer. This requires smart planning, involving location recce, floor plans and shot lists as well as management of people, resources and equipment. Leadership & Team-‐Building: Encouraging film teams and support crews to work together and deliver strong performance and productivity is demanding and requires good communication skills and patience. Everyone needs to feel valued to have to ensure their contribution achieves a successful outcome. After leading many team collaborations across a variety of projects, I have become a mentor and teach part-‐time for the BFI Film Academy. TECHNICAL SKILLS
